Tried it, and found out I had disabled it in the past, and it fortunately has stayed off trhough updates.

How does it deal with usernames/passwords/secrets in the clipboard? Do you clean it up periodically?

I looked at mine, and it only has entries from my current login session.

  • That, and it only has about 10 of them. But anyway, if someone can access your clipboard manager then that's not very good...

    • If someone has access to your computer to access your clipboard history, you're already been pwned and the clipboard with random scattered entries is the least of your worries.

Use a password manager/passkey so you don't have to do this

  • Sometimes you have broken websites/apps so you gotta copypaste. Sometimes they even have fields where you can't paste either (K9mail on android) (I cry in 64 char password).

    • It'd be an interesting feature for a password manager to issue a system call to purge clipboard history on copying a password. Lots of password managers aren't just browser add-ons but full desktop apps
