ability to copy service account password to the clipboard

As I mentioned over in this cwrsync thread:

Speaking of the generated password, can you display it in a control that can be selected and copied to the clipboard? Rather error prone to transcribe it by hand.

The same suggestion applies to copSSH.

Also, what are some scenarios under which knowing the service account password would be useful?

Would there be much danger in logging it to a file that only the administrator (or user performing the install) had read access to?

Re: ability to copy service account password to the clipboard

A copssh user has right to know the password. In addition, displaying the password gives a visual feedback about the password complexity. All this behaviour is overridden if you choose a silent installation.

In the next release, the password information will be displayed in an installer page instead of a dialog box. It will then be an easy task to copy/paste.
