Hello, Fortuitously, I see this in /var/log/syslog :

Dec 18 10:05:47 carbone gnome-shell[2657]: Gnome Clipboard:  [INFO] set clipboard content: *****

With the content clipboard. It is very unsecured if this content is a password.

OS : Debian Bullseye.

Hi, This is a good point. We have to disable the log before releasing the extension.

Or simply do not log the content.

Logging is useful for debugging. We can disable it in production. Any contribution is appreciated
