Tried it, and found out I had disabled it in the past, and it fortunately has stayed off trhough updates.

How does it deal with usernames/passwords/secrets in the clipboard? Do you clean it up periodically?

I looked at mine, and it only has entries from my current login session.

That, and it only has about 10 of them. But anyway, if someone can access your clipboard manager then that's not very good...

If someone has access to your computer to access your clipboard history, you're already been pwned and the clipboard with random scattered entries is the least of your worries.

Use a password manager/passkey so you don't have to do this

Sometimes you have broken websites/apps so you gotta copypaste. Sometimes they even have fields where you can't paste either (K9mail on android) (I cry in 64 char password).

It'd be an interesting feature for a password manager to issue a system call to purge clipboard history on copying a password. Lots of password managers aren't just browser add-ons but full desktop apps
