Hi robster
Thank you for taking the time to offer such a comprehensive response.
I think the above statement from yourself hits the nail on the head for me. When I see the clipboard clearing settings in the UI I take them at face value, i.e. nothing will remain in the clipboard beyond the configured period, and I only discovered that this isn’t the case by accident.
If BW is not going to be developed to handle copied credentials in a more secure manner perhaps the wording on the those settings could be changed to be more explicit.
