I was designing a form which asks the user to type in a password and then to verify again in the next field. I noticed however, that if I copy and paste from the first password field to the other, the values are not same.

It seems my Firefox running on Mac OS X, copies the asterisk graphic instead, which has the value '\x95'

Is it possible to copy the underlying text from the password field?

Thanks
