Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/6335

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Go to the "Send" tab.
  2. Either try to add a text or file Send.
  3. Go to the password field (--> Additional options), as if you were trying to add a password to the Send.

Expected Result

I can generate a password - and copy it.

Actual Result

There is no generator button - and no copy button.

Screenshots or Videos

Additional Context

I consider this a UI/UX inconsistency, as e.g. the browser extension has both the generator button and copy button attached to that same password field when creating a Send:

@cbbit Thanks!

Only thing to add for now: as always, I again forgot to write, that I do hope you check the iOS app as well regarding this issue.
