Bug description

It is nearly impossible to click on the Keepass icon to fill the field with a saved password. There's like a 1px at the top right that can be clicked but it is very hard to do. I feel like this should be placed outside the field as is the case with nearly every other website. I know you might argue it is a Keepass problem but I never have this problem anywhere else.

Research direction

Start by reproducing an action that asks for a password and inspect the password-field UI around the show-password icon and KeePass autofill control. Done means both controls can be clicked independently without one obstructing the other.
