Added in Otter Shell 0.13.31 (now in the cockatiel repo).

The password field in the greeter, the lock screen and the polkit dialog now supports:

holding Backspace/Delete to keep deleting
Ctrl+A to select everything
Shift+Left/Right/Home/End to select, with the selection highlighted over the dots
typing or Backspace replacing the selection
Ctrl+Backspace / Ctrl+Delete clearing to the start/end (whole field, so word boundaries in a password stay hidden)

Copy and cut stay disabled in password fields.
