I myself use KeePassXC; I remember I noticed this functionality a long time ago. At the moment I hadn't had it work properly: I'll look into it again. It seems it can be part of the right answer: Not having Kdeconnect repeating everything you say to your phone; and using a different channel that clipboard for passwords. (Just because we don't necessarily read posts in "correct" order, I've been pointed out to two completely relevant upstream bugs, which I repeat here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=386568 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=392164) Thanks, Chris > > The above avoids having the password in your clipboard at any time. > > Nevertheless I agree with you that it would be nice if the default > behavior could be changed. > > Best, > Thom
