I use a password manager to login to all my accounts.  When I click on the efmer.com link my username and password are pasted into the required fields, but the words Incorrect Password appear in red at the top of the login box.  I have to copy the same password from the password manager, and paste it into the password field before clicking on the Login button works.  Is this a security feature or something else?

If you mean this forum, it's the password manager.
http://www.simplemachines.org/ is one of the most used forum software. I don't have any problems with my manager.
What I'm up to the other half of the time "BorregoWildflowers.org"

There is one other site, www.att.com, that just recently started deleting both username and password a moment after both fields are filled in.  Since that is new behavior it most likely is site specific.  My password manager resides on the server of an online security company.  I can message them to get their take on the issue.
