It makes sense to paste your password when logging into an account, but from what I read this is just on the password reset. They probably want people to actually type their new password twice instead of typing it once and then copy/pasting for the second field.

What about people who use password managers to generate random passwords and paste them into the fields?

It's not insane, but it does increase the burden on those of us who use password generators. There is NO excuse for the sloppiness of the implementation, however.
