If it's to prevent accidents, it should just prompt user to confirm saving the screenshot with sensitive information.
As it is, it is just an annoyance that requires you to do stupid workarounds like taking a photo of your screen.
Imagine if a password manager didn't allow you to copy the password since you might accidentally paste it somewhere incorrect.
Funny enough, that's what the big passkey folks want: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10407
Really glad open-source password managers are resisting the bullying and not implementing DRM.
For now: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10406
Or not: https://github.com/Kunzisoft/KeePassDX/issues/2321
They are imo clearly gearing up to lock down passkeys in practice one day so that you will only be able to use those tied to a Google or Apple account (or some new player). They're already threatening in these issues to blacklist open implementations that don't submit to their requirements, and then requiring an attested client would then become the "best practice" adopted blindly and widely. I think the only hope is for the open clients to fully submit, hoping to avoid full attestation, while not making it too hard to patch out the anti-features. Of course, anyone who can't compile is screwed though.

... have you heard of passkeys?
Yes, it's as stupid as it sounds. And works about as well.
