Using Win 10 / Win 11? OK - try WINKEY+V It brings up a list of the last 25 things you copied to the clipboard. Useful! But in my case it includes several passwords to various systems. OK, all "unimportant" ones, but ... if I'd known it existed, I would have used the "Clear all" feature every time instead of CTRL+C to clear it out.

That's why I'm totally against software like Keypass. Passwords have absolutely no place in the clipboard. And further, here I am with MS which meanwhile do not allow it for Windows login (e.g. via Teamviewer...).
I'd disagree - a password manager means that you can maintain strong, different passwords for each site without writing them down. I use one for "proper secure" sites (anything to do with money, basically), and let Chrome handle them for shopping and suchlike sites (including CP) where it's important to have a degree of security, but without needing to enter a password every time myself. And many of those secure sites are moving to Authenticators which require a fingerprint and phone which is a good thing.

Pardon the ignorance. What's an Authenticator? Do you mean dual factor authorization?
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

The clipboard is per-user. Are you worried someone who's already using your profile could find out your passwords by looking at your clipboard history?

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

What is this "WINKEY" of which you speak? ;)
It's similar to a Smiley, but with only one eye.

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.
