**Description of problem, include YAML if issue is related to notifications:**

In the initial registration flow, the app does not let me use a password manager.
Normally, other apps would be happy to prompt me to use Bitwarden and I'd create a login entry in it that would save the app identifier and I'd generate the password and auto-fill most of the fields.

To work around this, I attempted generating a password in a separately opened Bitwarden app and copying it over.

This is suboptimal but is typically possible with password fields in other app. But doesn't work in this one.

The hack I resorted to was clicking on the 👁️ button that turns that field into text and that allowed me to actually paste it in.

Typing it in manually (and twice!) would've been a nightmare for a 128-char password.

So that's an area of improvement. On a related note, I wonder if it'd be at all possible to support passkeys that tend to have quite a seamless UX...

I don't really know how to record screen to properly demo this one. See the above details.
