Feature description

Hi,

I would like to request a option for a checkbox to alter the textarea in the clipboard window with javascript to turn it into a password field, this could be quite usefull for when pasting a Bitlocker or Veracrypt bootloader password.

Currently I don't think it is easy to implement such feature when I look into /ui/src/components/popovers/PasteModal.tsx the javascript logic might be easier to implement in order to switch between element by DOM manipulation, but I think that a new component has to be written for the password field, using a textarea is a no go because the element doesn't support * masking.

My logic of GO isn't very good, but I can read it, there might be a few components of interest:
/ui/src/components/AuthLayout.tsx <- likely not a good place.
/ui/src/components/Fieldset.tsx <- this seem the base of input fields or textareas perhaps a new component needs to extend this.

Thank you very much!, have a nice day 👍
