On macOS, Authenticator doesn't properly mark the data as "transient", and clutters up clipboard managers #343

You can see more information about this here http://nspasteboard.org/, but basically, temporary Yubikey codes clutter up the system pasteboard history.

Ideally, the desktop Authenticator app would mark the pasteboard entries on macOS as ‘transient.’

Thanks for the discussion, we'll think about it. I guess it also might make sense to clear the TOTP code from the clipboard after some time, even if it's typically only valid for 30s.

Yubico Authenticator 6.0 has now been released and uses a new codebase. As such, this issue has been marked with the legacy label, and will be automatically closed in 7 days. If this issue is still relevant to Yubico Authenticator 6, please comment on the issue saying so, and it will be kept open (or be re-opened). Sorry for the inconvenience!
