The Clear Clipboard default is set to ‘Never’ under Options in Bitwarden. This is an unnecessary security risk and easy to resolve by changing the default.
Risk: your last copy or full history of copies (OS dependent) from Bitwarden is left sitting in your OS clipboard after you paste them. This would be passwords, for example.
Recommendation: change default from ‘Never’ to a length that most users will never need to store a copy before they paste, such as 2 or 5 minutes, dramatically reducing this risk.
Benefit: This improves the base level of security for all users. This would especially benefit new password manager users who may not be aware of the security implications of the current default setting of ‘Never’ clearing their clipboard.
Update: changed recommended time to 1 minute as I didn’t intend to suggest adding a new, longer value. Rather, the intent is to simply not have Never be the default. So, I have changed it to the highest existing value other than Never, which is 1 minute. This will likely be more than enough for the vast majority of users. I don’t personally care what Bitwarden sets it to as long as it’s not Never and that it mitigates the described risk.
