Multi-paste

bobn4907 · February 20, 2024, 12:42am

So this is probably something I am failing to understand.

I can set clip-board time out to some value and whatever it is not available after the set time as is specified which works as designed.

however, if you invoke multi-paste, all your previously copied passwords, and anything else is easily seen.

to me this seems like a major flaw. am i missing something

What operating system are you using, and is “multi-paste” a clipboard history feature in the operating system, or have you installed some third-party clipboard manager app?

FYI, as of November, 2023, Bitwarden is not expected to store any copied passwords in the Windows system clipboard history, as discussed in this thread on Github:

Not saved to clipboard

### Steps To Reproduce 1. press the Copy Username or Password button 2. Check …the clipboard 3. The data is not saved. ### Expected Result When a copy is made, it is saved to the clipboard. （This worked until a few months ago.） ### Actual Result The data is not saved. And since pasting can be done with ctl+v, it is simply not saved to the clipboard. ### Screenshots or Videos _No response_ ### Additional Context _No response_ ### Operating System Windows ### Operating System Version win11 ### Installation method Direct Download (from bitwarden.com) ### Build Version 2023.10.1 ### Issue Tracking Info - [ ] I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

thank you. I determined it was one of my extensions causing the issue

Interesting — thanks for the update. If you don’t mind sharing which extension it was, that information may be helpful to future readers of this thread who are experiencing a similar issue.
