Password fields

A small security related item. I'm a lazy typer and love to copy things. Outlook Express makes quite clear that that is not allowed on a password field

A password on an ASP.NET page (a textbox whose TextMode property has been set to Password) has a similar behavior. It will not pop up the balloon, it just will not copy anything and in rhe tight-mouse menu the copy item is disabled.

As far as I know, it has always been this way with password text fields. Popping up the balloon is new, but I don't think you've ever been able to copy.

However, paste pretty much always works, so you can write your favourite passwords into Notepad and use copy/paste to put them in the box :)
