1Password grabs the clipboard whenever I open the app, whether or not I'm even in a text field. Can't think of why it needs to do that..

- jdxcode 6y agomy guess is that it's checking to see if it can clear the clipboard or if you copied something else
- joshstrange 6y agoI wonder if it so they can restore the keyboard when you copy a password? I know they could copy it at time of copy as well but just a thought.
- untog 6y agoIt’s for two factor auth tokens. When I fill in a password it copies my two factor code to the clipboard, then ~30 seconds later it restores the original clipboard content. All pretty silly all things considered but I can’t think of an easier way to do things.
- avianlyric 6y agoThe app does a check for URLs and will offer to open the URL using its own browser if it detects one. Reading around it looks like there are better APIs for doing this, where you can ask iOS is the clipboard contains a string matching a pattern, which actually getting access to the content.
