Question

Is it possible to make Passwords visible while typing? I have an essential tremor disability.

I have an essential tremor in my hands, which isn't dangerous, but which makes typing passwords a nightmare. On websites that give you the option to see the password, it's great, because I can see if I hit a wrong key. But when I have to sign in for Apple ID, it's frequently rejected and I enter it many times and it's still not recognized. Is there something that people with this disability can do?

Wondering if you can:

type your password where you can see it, (eg: Use Text Edit)
select, and "copy" the password to the clipboard, (Copy shortcut is Command + C)
and then just "paste" it when you sign-in. (Paste shortcut is (Command + V)

Note: For security: After you copy it: you can delete your password from where you typed it.

All the best :-)
