In my application there is a TEdit with PasswordChar = '*'.
When the user presses Ctrl + C a hint appears.

Not Allowed
You cannot copy text from a password field.
And obviously, the Copy item in the drop-down menu is disabled
Is there a way to enable the copy action for password editors?

You cannot copy text from a password field.
You press Ctrl+V to paste in the password.
As another security precaution, a password field stores its value as an array of characters, rather than as a string. Like an ordinary text field, a password field fires an action event when the user indicates that text entry is complete, for example by pressing the Enter button.
The usual way is to have a button right to the edit field allowing to display the password. This may be bound to some access conditions. While the password is visible it can be copied as well.
