Description

Similar to issue #2402, I also cannot install anything on the work computers and need to read them off my phone and type them in.

I was wondering it it would be possible to have an option in the three dots beside the password to select display in chunks,
and if the user selects it, then display the password in chunks of 4 characters separated by spaces.

Then instead of having this on your screen to read
jLbtKWhdaLGAUEu7LZ8N

you would have
jLbt KWhd aLGA UEu7 LZ8N

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #2402 and tracing the password view's three-dots menu in the Android app. Done means users can select a display-in-chunks option and see the password grouped into four-character chunks separated by spaces without changing its value.
