Preliminaries
I have ensured that:

  • I am running the latest version of Strongbox on the App Store by searching for Strongbox and clicking into it to see the Update button (or not)
  • I have performed a full restart of my device no matter how annoying that is

Versions

On iOS:

  • Device: iPhone 14 Pro
  • OS iOS 18.2

** Strongbox Version **

  • Version: 1.60.30 (5115) from TestFlight

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

When creating a new entry and still being in the edit screen, the Password is already generated but hidden. When in a public space where I don’t want to unhide it, I can still copy it around without anyone seeing it.
But this doesn’t work as replaced characters (•••) are copied with the length of the actual password instead.

workaround: save the unfinished edit progress, copy the password and edit it again. This creates an additional history entry.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a new entry
  2. double tap the pregenerated password
  3. tap the copy button that iOS presents over the marked text
  4. paste it in some clear text field

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

The password should be copied as is without being shown.

Alternatively no copy button should be displayed by iOS and a custom button should be provided.

Screenshots & Recordings
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.
