I am not sure about the password thing since I have my keyboard voice turned off, but I would report it to support as a bug. As to pasting into web forms, the bn expects computer braille, so it first translates the block of text and then pastes it. A similar thing would happen if you grabbed some grade 2 text and pasted it into a text file, such as an MS Word file or an rtf.
