Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I noticed when creating both a new cloud or local account that an enhancement could be made for a better user experience, reduction on potential customer support issues, and ads support and features upon creation. The enhancement is supported by a bug which is void of critical information to a new user.
- Consider the usefulness if this feature were combined with the Spotlight Paperwallet for members procuring a will or transferable accounts.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
- When creating a web account, there is an button to copy the password to the clipboard/notepad.
- When creating a local account there is not a button to copy the password to the clipboard/notepad.
That is logical in the sense that the user created it, but a strong password is long.
- In either case, the password needs to be captured and saved.
- In both web and local account creation, there is not an option to copy the account name.
- With web account creation, I tried to print the screen to capture both my new account name, password, and the 3 ticked check boxes. What I discovered was if the account began with a letter, the first letter was omitted. This was duplicated by right clicking while on the screen and saving as a PDF and/or sending to print. What is odd, is that if the account began with a number it was fine.
- While in the web account creation and using the help button, a user can take a screenshot and successfully capture the critical information.
- One problem with this is it is dependent on the users preferences and all critical information may not be captured.
- Consider adding the screenshot button currently in the help button to both web and local account creation.
- Consider adding the following tooltip and text.
- Consider that this ensures the user has been provided an opportunity to capture both their new account name and password as well as the 3 ticked check boxes guiding the user towards securing their account, with this being the 4th and final notification regarding it.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Fix the bug omitting the first letter of the web account creation in print/PDF.

Research direction
The issue identifies web and local account creation, plus the existing screenshot action in the help button, as the relevant entry points. Start by locating those flows and reproducing the first-letter omission when printing or saving a PDF; done should cover the requested capture and copy behavior and preserve all account details and security checkboxes.
