Create password field doesn't support keyboard cut or copy shortcuts

[trucy]

When creating a new password, if a user enters something in the "Create Password" field, tries to copy that with Command+C and paste using Command+V into the "Confirm Password" field, it will take whatever was last on the user's keyboard instead.

Since this input doesn't currently have a show/hide password action, it's hard to know what the error is if your password lengths look the same and the user doesn't realize the copy/paste keyboard shortcut isn't working as expected.

Is it difficult to allow copy and cut functions on this input or was this done intentionally?

I'd suggest in the future allowing a user to show/hide the password field so they can verify what was input before continuing.

In this video, I first copy and paste from a password manager (20 chars) which works as expected, followed by an example where I type in 8 characters and try to copy and paste that to the 2nd field. Since copy doesn't work, it takes the content from my clipboard (the 20 char password) and pastes that instead of the 8 char password I expected.

Copy/cut is disabled in HTML password forms by default for security reasons. You can work around that, or we can add a show password option to each form field and make that copyable.

@tomlinton thanks for the context. If it's not too much trouble, can we add the following icon to those inputs for now? The various states would look like this:

• Base or Neutral/400 for the actionable icon
• Eye and Eye Off material design icons in the same spot as other right-sided icons in inputs

Thank you and lmk if you have any questions
