macOS Sierra: Password text box font size, at "View/Edit entry" window, is too small #1917

Description

@andreoliv

(Issue noted on macOS Sierra - 10.12.6 and KeePassXC - Version 2.3.1) The font size for the password text at the "View/Edit entry" window, is much smaller than the username text's font size. There is no way to adjust the Password's font size in preference settings. The reason may be related to different font type on username text box and password text box.

Expected Behavior

There should be a way to change password's font size for "View/Edit entry" window.

Current Behavior

Currently there is no way to change password's text box font size. Although there is a workaround, which is setting the environment variable QT_SCALE_FACTOR to 1.25 on .bash_profile (export QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.25), it only works if the user calls the app from the terminal (/Applications/KeePassXC.app/Contents/MacOS/KeePassXC) and QT_SCALE_FACTOR changes the font size on every text related to any control at each and every single application's window.

Possible Solution

Allow the user to set, specifically, the password's text box font size in preference settings.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Context

Making the password text box content more legible.
