Description

On the corporate environment sharing passwords are a key feature. Passman does it better than commercial products like LastPass.

Still, I would find useful to let share passwords but let specify if you want other people can view -or copy- the password or just use it with the passman webextension.

So managers can share a password with employees and they can use it without know anything of the password creation techniques their employer uses, like "Ch4Ng1Ng L3tT3rS f0R nUmB3rS" or so.

Perhaps a checkbox when sharing the password "Use only with passman web extension" will disable view and copy icons on the password and destination user wouldn't be able to do anything with this password besides than use it with the extension.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the shared-password flow and the Passman webextension integration to determine where viewing and copying are controlled; done means a recipient can use the shared password through the extension without viewing or copying it.
