support copy and paste #19

I have a random long (over 16 char) password and being unable to copy and paste it on the Mac app makes it hard to use strong passwords

Copy/pasting passwords means they're stored somewhere, in clear. Don't do that.

Would really appreciate this feature as well. I use a password manager and pass is >60 characters, but I'll likely change it to something smaller now (and still use the password manager to store it).

Even if you could just point out where the paste-disable is in code so I can build a local copy, that'd be awesome :)
