I have taken to copying a benign string after using a sensitive password and I minimize switching tabs during transport of said password.
- Gare 5y agoSome password management programs (I know for KeePassXC) clear the clipboard automatically after several seconds.
- mackatap 5y agoBitwarden does as well, though it seems more like 20-30 seconds.
- gnabgib 5y agoIt doesn't by default (perhaps it depends on which version you first installed) but it is available under File -> Settings -> Options: Clear Clipboard which can e set to never/10s/20s/30s/1m/2m/5m.
- SubiculumCode 5y agoThis is good to know, but it still doesn't help if there is an application phone app, etc, that monitors the clipboard.
- npteljes 5y agoThat's a good practice. KeePass 2, KeePassX and KeePassXC, and KeePassDX on Android do this by default as well. It's even better to use the Auto-Type feature of these software, because then the password never gets on the clipboard in the first place.
