- treesprite82 6y agoI don't think a webpage can read clipboard without the user manually pasting. If there's some malicious desktop program running on your machine at the same time as the password manager then you're probably screwed regardless of whether the password passes through the clipboard - but maybe there's some subtleties I'm missing here.
- flemhans 6y agoI've accidentally pasted sensitive passwords enough times that I know the procedure is prone to errors. If I have to do it, I immediately copy something else right afterwards, to avoid an accidental paste later on.
- treesprite82 6y ago10 seconds auto-clear (which is configurable) is short enough to prevent me accidentally pasting onto some other site. Could be better if it auto-cleared after a paste, but not sure how feasible that would be.
- fsh 6y agoFor example it could just read all the passwords from the password manager's UI.
- pyhtel 6y agoBetween Keepass, 1passwword, and lastpass I've never seen a password manager that just shows the password without the user explicitly choosing to reveal it
- EricE 6y ago1password has the option to do so and I do it on my home desktop computer. Obviously on mobile devices it would be a bad idea and on those I leave that option in it's default, disabled state :)
