Suggestion to directly copy stored account password to clipboard

Reported by orsch...@gmail.com, Sep 20

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.100 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open a page for which you have stored a password
2. Click on the key icon in the URL bar

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
I would like to suggest a feature by which the user can click on the password or an icon next to it, to directly copy the password to the clipboard. 

Currently, you need to go to the managed passwords in your settings to retrieve the password which adds additional steps. 

I am attaching a mockup screenshot and looking forward to your design inputs.

An interesting idea. Could you share a usecase that you want to simplify?
@vasi use case would be to quickly and directly access the password for a
website to share with someone else or to being able to quickly see what
password had been used. Right now this is not visible because all passwords
are hidden and only shown with these black circles.

Yours
Sharing is clear. Isn't username enough to distinguish different credentials for the site? 
Not really. Usually, from the username only I (others may be able to)
cannot infer which password I have used.

Generally, I think sharing is the stronger use case here, especially when
you use an account as a team.

I see. The idea sounds reasonable. Max, WDYT?
