Linux Clipboard History

Hi, is there any way to prevent the Linux clipboard history from storing the copied Passwords? I use KDE Plasma 5.27.7 on a Ubuntu base in X. I enabled the "Automatically clear... after 90s" in...

Still an issue. The password is kept in history, and 1P just copies an empty string to the clipboard. This at least reduces accidental pasting but now there are two unwanted history entries.

Is it not setting the appropriate MIME type? https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/blob/8c7cc90363d443506d72ff9ab18b63aebd9f64c7/src/gui/Clipboard.cpp#L59

Can you tell me a little more about your environment so that I can pass that along to the team? Which clipboard history app are you using? Are you using Wayland or X11? Which Linux distribution? 

I look forward to hearing from you.

    Hello, I have the same problem.

    I'm using Arch with KDE Plasma Wayland. The password is not cleared from clipboard, instead an empty entry is pasted above.

     

    Edit: Fixed by installing the beta
