enforce password verification usage, even when "Show typing" is selected

Behavior described below is currently expected. The fact that no verification is neccessary with the "Show typing" option enabled is a feature. However, we should enforce the password verification field always, independently of the fact wether typing is shows or hidden, in order to prevent typos. And as a result of that, users finding themselves unable to recover a password and use their key.
Reproduce
- change password for existing key
- unlock key by entering current pw in pinentry dialog 1
- enter new pw in pinentry dialog 2
- tick "show" option to show password
Currently
Repeat PW field can not be selected by clicking into field or tabbing.
Expected
Always enforce use of password verification field.

verifiedThere is a remaining UI issue. After typing or pasting into the "Repeat" field, after the characters entered there are still some placeholder dots visible which show when "Show" option is not ticked.
Interestingly this is a bit wonky to reproduce. Keep typing in the Repeat field and eventually the dots will show or paste "pokefpsojdb" which reliably triggers the problem in my tests.
Setting to started to indicate this is not fully implemented yet.
