Feature request: Add button to copy credential operation URL

This URL is already obtainable when using Firefox and if popups are disabled Screenshot 2023-09-13 193739 I know this extension is not intended for production use, no wonder all credentials vanish on browser exit but obtaining credential operation URL would provide minimal persistence support.

As I mentioned before, this is a fallback mechanic, thus not much attention was put into it. I will see if I can improve it.

Regarding the "all credentials vanish on browser exit", it depends on your browser settings. The credentials are saved on your browser localstorage, thus under normal operation, they should be persistent across browser sessions (there is another storage that gets cleaned every time you close the browser). I think your browser is configured to clear all the storage data when closed.

If you think an "export keys" feature would be useful for you, please open a new issue so that we can track it easier.

The last option "Offline Website Data" is why you are losing your keys.
