Can't copy value of the password field in the basic auth section

[arantesxyz]

Expected Behavior

Select the text, press ctrl+c or right click and copy and it should be added to my clipboard.

Actual Behavior

I can right click and copy, and also ctrl+c, but the value is not added to my clipboard.

Reproduction Steps

1. Create a request with basic auth
2. Add any text to the password field
3. Try to copy the value

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the issue tracker for this problem.

Additional Information

I understand this might be a "Security" feature, if we were talking about a non dev tool. Insomnia is used to test API's, i should be able to copy values freely.

I'm testing an API, the password has 128 chars, the only way i can retrieve the password now is typing char by char, since i cannot copy it from the input.

@arantesxyz I cannot reproduce it. I have tried to copy from the password field and then paste it. Its working.

Same for me. Copy/cut doesn't work for the password field in the Basic auth type. Every other field works well.

A work-around I've found on MacOS is to take a screenshot of the text and use the text identification feature to copy the text from the screenshot 😅 Would be nice to just be able to copy though!
