How to Stop Your Clipboard Manager from Saving Passwords
You use 1Password, Bitwarden, or LastPass to keep your passwords safe. But every time you copy a password, your clipboard manager captures it and stores it in history. Now your master-password-protected vault has a backdoor: your clipboard.
Option 1: The Hard Way (Manual)
- 1 Remember to delete each password from clipboard history after pasting.
- 2 Add your password manager to the "excluded apps" list (if your clipboard manager even supports it).
- 3 Miss the times your password manager uses a browser extension — those come from the browser, not the app.
Option 2: The Sane Way (SaneClip)
- ✓ Built-In Detection: SaneClip recognizes 1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass, Dashlane, KeePass, and other password managers automatically.
- ✓ Concealed Field Respect: When apps mark clipboard data as "concealed" (like password managers do), SaneClip skips it entirely.
- ✓ Zero Configuration: Works out of the box. No exclusion lists to maintain. Your passwords never touch the history.
