Pasting is disabled on password input fields.

Product:Other Product Version:OS X 10.7 and apple.com forms
Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:

I like to paste passwords, but this is not always possible anymore.

Steps to Reproduce:

- Try to paste a password in, for instance, the authentication view that pops-up when clicking the ‘unlock’ icon on in the accounts system preference pane.
- Try to paste a password in, for instance, the sign-in form of https://discussions.apple.com.

Expected Results:

In both cases I’d expect it to place the contents of the pasteboard in the password input field.

Actual Results:

No cigar.

Regression:

I _think_ that in OS X it changed (sometime) since the introduction of Lion.

Notes:

You can find a more elaborate version of this issue here: https://gist.github.com/1925585. It also mentions a related issue with regards to exporting a private key from Keychain.app (bottom part). For which I filed a separate ticket: #10939294.
