Don't forget that your clipboard manager also stores the last N things you copied in your clipboard history. I won't lie, it is very convenient for passwords I need to type frequently while sitting on a machine I trust, that doesn't run any remote logging applications and that locks when I'm not there, but it's still obviously a security issue.
- dllthomas 11y agoA clipboard manager, if you have one, is a separate X application. The password manager could deny it access, if that's what you'd prefer.
