Automatically clear clipboard after 30 seconds (or equiv)

Our previous password management platform used to automatically clear the clipboard after a period of time after copying a credential. Some remote support tools sync clipboards so sometimes it accidentally can leak it to the wrong audience.

Can this be a functionality of the browser plugin perhaps?

    I hate automatic time-based clearing of clipboards because it takes so long that I've occasionally lost data to them. I copy some other text on the screen immediately after using the password, because I also run into trouble with remote tool functions.

      Paul G. That reads to me like an adjustable timeout value is required (with option to disable entirely). The idea itself is sound, but applied based on security group etc.

      Graeme T. Yes, or even if I can just have it set to a shorter time myself. It obviously doesn't affect everyone.
