This is still a concern. I do malware analysis for a living and most windows malware these days that steal clipboard data simply hook the windows APIs and grab a copy of everything in there.
- aargh_aargh 5y agoThanks. What would be your recommendation regarding password managers? Does using a password manager's browser extension (assuming it has one) help here or does that also use clipboard? I guess I'm damned either way because I'm gradually migrating to using generated passwords which I copy via clipboard anyway.
