KeePass also has the auto type feature that does not put it on the clipboard. There are Powershell scripts that can do the same.

Thank you very much. I will try that.

My password manager was written by me so I am happy that it is secure.

KeePass, like any decent password manager with a "copy to clipboard" option, uses the Windows API to ensure that the password you copy doesn't get added to the clipboard history, and isn't included in the "roaming" clipboard history.

KeePass only retains the password in the clipboard for 30 seconds by default, then it clears it out.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

I was going to point that out. Not that I knew the details, but my understanding is that if it can't be avoided at all, good password managers will go out of their way to clear out what they've copied to the clipboard after a relatively short period of time.

Gotta say, I use Keepass; I thought it cleared the copied password from the clipboard after about 30 seconds. I know it’s not available after a short time. I’ll look at the password history later today to see if it’s retained there.
[followup]: copied the password from Keepass. It did not appear in the {winkey} + V clipboard list at all; after 30 seconds it is cleared from the clipboard (was not available for to be pasted).

WINKEY+V brings up window asking to enable clipboard history. Seems for my box it's not defaulted on.
|
|
|
|

Not on my system, because I have not enabled clipboard history.

What is this "WINKEY" of which you speak?

It's similar to a Smiley, but with only one eye.

Any decent password manager with a "copy to clipboard" option should be using the Windows.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer namespace to ensure that the password doesn't get added to the clipboard history, and doesn't synchronize with other computers logged in under your account.
It's a bit of a pain to use from a non-store app, but it's not too bad:

I remember when Win 10 was out, this came up somewhere on this forum, I believe.
And I learned to disable that feature...

Is there a way to set up a filter to send all CP posts having 'wordle' in the subject line to the thrash bin?
|
|
|
|

I don't think so, but you can always ask for it in the B&S. It could be interesting to have such a filter, but I am not sure if it would be a nightmare for the hamsters.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yep there is one. If you see 'wordle' skip it  
|
|
|
|
|
Ah. "Intelligent filtering"!

I was looking for something similar to run Linux, what is it about it you don't like?
