Bug Description

On Bionic when I am prompted to enter my password via polkit I can type a lot of characters in to the input field, above 24 characters the dots hiding the actual characters overflows the input field.

I can reproduced this by:

Logging out of snapd (snap logout)
snap refresh <some snap I have installed> (note, not sudo)
polkit prompt appears
type > 25 chars
notice the overflow
