We (@gked and I) just checked and the only UA that allows the user to show the password is Edge. The other browsers we tested (Chrome Mac, FF Mac/Win, Safari) do not have native support for showing the actual password.
@ehsan 's proposal sounds reasonable. Allow copying only if the password is currently being shown (if the UA supports that). If the password field is displaying '****', then nothing is copied or cut. Paste will always work in password fields.

Not being able to copy passwords you can easily get to through script is actually somewhat annoying. Are we really sure we're helping users here?

I think a good UX for a password field would be one where the user could click on a button and reveal the contents of the password box. If a UA implements that, they should probably support copying that content as well. But with the traditional password box implementation, I think copying makes no sense. For example, if I have |*********| in my password field, and select the first three stars and copy them, what am I exactly copying to the clipboard? :-)
