Description
### Expected Behavior
Select the text, press ctrl+c or right click and copy and it should be added to my clipboard.
### Actual Behavior
I can right click and copy, and also ctrl+c, but the value is not added to my clipboard.
### Reproduction Steps
1. Create a request with basic auth
2. Add any text to the password field
3. Try to copy the value
### Is there an existing issue for this?
- [x] I have searched the [issue tracker](https://www.github.com/Kong/insomnia/issues) for this problem.
### Additional Information
I understand this might be a "Security" feature, if we were talking about a non dev tool. Insomnia is used to test API's, i should be able to copy values freely.
I'm testing an API, the password has 128 chars, the only way i can retrieve the password now is typing char by char, since i cannot copy it from the input.

Research direction
Start at the basic auth section of the request editor and reproduce the password-field copy behavior on Windows. Confirm that selecting the password and using Ctrl+C or the context-menu copy places the value in the clipboard without changing the field's masking behavior.
