What is the goal of this PR and why is this important?

The password field on the login page was not displaying at the same height as the email field above it in Safari, appearing visibly shorter. This inconsistency affected the visual appearance and user experience of the login form.

How did you approach the change?

Updated the password field's padding in app/views/devise/sessions/new.html.erb to match the email field's default SimpleForm wrapper padding:

class: "w-full form-control password-field rounded-md border-gray-300 shadow-sm
       focus:ring-blue-500 focus:border-blue-500 px-3 py-2 pr-10"

The root cause was that when custom input_html classes are provided to SimpleForm, they completely override the default wrapper classes. The email field receives px-3 py-2 padding from the default wrapper configuration, but the password field was explicitly using p-2 padding, resulting in less vertical padding (p-2 = 0.5rem all around vs py-2 = 0.5rem vertical with px-3 = 0.75rem horizontal).

Anything else to add?

Initial approaches attempted:

  1. Adding a CSS height: 2.5rem rule - didn't solve the issue
  2. Adding w-full class for width - the fields were already the same width

The correct fix was matching the vertical padding by using px-3 py-2 instead of p-2, ensuring both fields have identical height rendering across all browsers including Safari.

Fixed in commit 6ae496f. The issue was that the password field was missing the w-full Tailwind class that the email field had. I've reverted the incorrect CSS height fix and added w-full to the password field's classes to match the email field styling.

Fixed in commit 8ddd242. The issue was the password field was using p-2 padding while the email field uses px-3 py-2 from SimpleForm's default wrapper. I've updated the password field to use px-3 py-2 pr-10 to match the email field's vertical height.
