..on a separate desktop as I described; otherwise any clipboard-hook will have the contents as soon as the clipboard changes.

Also typing a password exposes you to keyloggers

And using clipboard exposes you to malware that reads the clipboard. Every program can access it at any time. So the advantage of using a password manager is that you can create an unique password for everything and don't have to remember them all. If you have malware running on your machine there is nothing that can truly prevent it from intercepting a password.

Yes, you're right. I corrected my mistake. :)

Can you elaborate a little, please. What do you mean by "separate desktop"?

A new desktop object in which you can open Windows. See CreateDesktop function (MSDN)[^]. --edit The login-screen is an example of another desktop than the one that you are using normally. Access to that desktop is limited, even if you are running a background application on yours :)

:-) They're coming out so fast at times it's hard to keep up to date. I've certainly never made any attempting at tracking them all. I just let it install whatever it wants in my VM.

Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Well [^this](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/0c/bb/00/0cbb0008dc9ce282aa20cb604a4460ed.jpg) did come to mind :laugh: A bunch of guys arguing about copy and paste security on an operating system that sends all your stuff up to Microsoft anyway :laugh:

Install a proxy and you can see (and modify) what is being sent; also, the keylogger was not included until Win10. One does not argue about something that can be verified, that's a waste of time :)
