Bug description

When you create a share, a password is created and visible:
image
When you click on "customize link", the password disappears:
image

We can still validate the sharing and if we have copied the password before, it is this one which is used, it does not become a share without password.

For information : In settings, password is required.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Share a folder or a file
  2. Click on “customize link”
Expected behavior

The password remains the one defined before, we can see it and copy it if we click on the eye

Research direction

Start by reproducing the share flow in the issue: create a file or folder share, then open “customize link” and inspect the password field. Confirm that the existing password remains visible and copyable through the eye control without changing the share’s password, then verify the behavior against the required-password setting.
