definitely typing into a basic text editor first, then copy and paste

Easy fix without much/any HTML knowledge required, just inspect each text field and change type=“password” to type=“text”. You can even do the reverse on password fields to display what you typed, it’s what any of the “show password” buttons do to toggle between showing/hiding the text.

If you’re telling the Lowes’ devs how to fix their website, they probably didn’t read this. If you’re explaining it to Lemmy users as a temporary user fix just to user the form, in the time it takes to inspect and change each field, I could have copy and pasted the content multiple times and moved on to other things.
