Clean clipboard automatically #20

Closed adocampo closed 3 years ago

adocampo commented 7 years ago

I would like the app was able to clean the clipboard password in X seconds, configurable through app settings, or just long pressing the copy button, a pop up letting choose how many seconds do you want to have it in the clipboard (like 10, 30, 60, unlimited, and by default 30s). I think its a tiny change and improves the security greatly if there is someone near peeping.

Wouldn't that make peeping more effective, since the pass needs to be entered more often? Though it guards better against physical takeover, i'm not quite sure what is suggested.

Hmm i don't know if this is possible, i could look into it of course.

My main doubt is about the menu for the time, i don't want the interface of the view more boosted than it already is. Maybe making it a global preference for all copied items?

I guess this feature will have little sense once the keyboard part is implemented, but that would be way more complicated to implement i think.

@animalillo if a keyboard is planned, that should be even greater, but if you think cleaning clipboard can be uselful in the meanwhile, that should do the job perfectly. You can even make a checkbox "clean the clipboard in 30secs" for people like me who thinks the clipboard is a security flaw or be disabled for the people who thinks the opposite. ;)
