User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0
Steps to reproduce:
- Sign up for Firefox sync on desktop, adding the password to my password manager (LastPass).
- On Firefox android, go to settings -> sign in to sync
- Enter email address
- Copy password from password manager on android
- Long-tap in password input field
Actual results:
No text input actions were shown
Also tried typing some characters and then long-tap on the password input field. This showed options to CUT, COPY but not PASTE.
Expected results:
Expect a PASTE action to paste the password into the input.
I don't quite see what benefit there is in preventing the user from pasting their password versus the benefit of using a password manager to create unique, strong passwords.

This surprises me - filling from a password manager works OK on desktop. Because this form is on the FxA servers, I'll adjust the component and hopefully someone in that team can offer some thoughts.

Possible dupe of bug 1556103 which is fixed in Gecko 69+
