<h3>Copy and paste</h3>
<p>Copy and paste can be relied on to avoid transcription. Users can copy their login credentials from a local source (such as a standalone third-party password manager) and paste it into the username and password fields on a login form, or into a web-based command line interfaces asking for a password. Blocking people from pasting into authentication fields, or using a different format between the copied text and the input field (for example, "Enter the 3rd, 4th, and 6th character of your password"), would force the user to transcribe information and therefore fail this criterion, unless another method is available.</p>

<p>If the copy and paste requires the user to have and use multiple devices (e.g., copy code from phone, email to yourself, open on laptop) copying multiple times, then it would still be considered a Cognitive Function Test. Some systems do allow for simple copy and paste across devices (e.g., tap code on phone, paste on laptop), which do not involve copying multiple times, but you would need all users to have easy access to that for it to be considered <a href="#dfn-accessibility-supported">accessibility supported</a>.</p>

<h3>Object Recognition</h3>
<p>If a <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/turingtest/">CAPTCHA</a> is used as part of an authentication process, there must be a method that does not include a cognitive function test, unless it meets the exception. If the test is based on something the website has set such as remembering or transcribing a word, or recognizing a picture the website provided, that would be a cognitive functional test. Recognizing objects, or a picture the user has provided is a cognitive function test; however, it is excepted at the AA level. Some forms of object recognition may require an understanding of a particular culture. For example, taxis can appear differently in different locales. This is an issue for many people, including people with disabilities, but it is not considered an accessibility-specific issue.</p>
