Caret symbol in password is sometimes output as ampersand when using auto-type

[jakob-dunning-agan]

Overview

When including one or more caret symbols in passwords, sometimes auto-type outputs an ampersand instead of the first caret symbol. Right clicking in the app and selecting "Copy password" seems to always work as expected.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a password with one or more caret symbols ("^") in it
2. Use auto-type a few times to paste the password to a text document

Expected Behavior

I expect a caret symbol always to be output as a caret symbol

Actual Behavior

Instead of the caret symbol, sometimes an ampersand appears in the output instead
