enorce 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.
