I’m not sure why this report is still open for System Settings, since it
has a merged branch there and r349 shows no Cut/Copy in password fields.
But just in case … The original report and (apparently) the toolkit
branch disables “Select All”, which is incorrect. There is no reason to
disable “Select All” for a password field — you can select the field
contents manually anyway — and GTK, Android, and iOS all allow it.

(Purely coincidentally, halfway through writing this comment I had to
lock the screen, and returned to find that a stuck key had typed
thousands of characters into the password field. Because the field did
not let me Select All for deletion, I had to restart the PC.)
