Some do that, and it's super annoying. I take a screenshot, and then silently my login doesn't work, with a weird error returned instead. Get another PIN, type it in, take a screenshot before submit, again get a nondescript error that makes no sense.

Don't they star the PIN in any case?

Why exactly is me taking a screenshot of my signup process for my records suddenly a disqualifier for signing up?

If all these companies never lied to us about the terms of the deals we're signing up for, needing proof of what actually happened, we'd never be taking these screenshots.

Honestly, this whole "security" theatre ought to be investigated by the consumer protection agencies, and any app that prevents screenshots being taken, or gives these nondescript errors when someone takes it and is subsequently unable to sign-in, should be fined for their anti-consumer behaviours.
