**Q1. What is the problem that you are trying to solve?**  
On the passphrase dialog or login screen I need to click on the password input field to be able to enter my master password, even though typing my password is the most likely action needed at that time.

**Q2 - Who is impacted?**  
Everyone

**Q3 - Why is it important and/or urgent?**  
Stuff like this will speed up interactions within the Passbolt client 🙂

**Q4 - What is your proposed solution? (optional)**  
When logging in, the password input should be autofocused so I can log in quickly (especially as my email is pre-filled by the extension, I assume).

When I copy a password or do some other protected action and Passbolt asks for my master password again, the password input in the modal should be focused automatically as well.
