Mick, Thank you. I too have been concerned about this. I've also been concerned about "memory leaks". FYI one cute feature of keepass is that it clears the clipboard 20 seconds after you copy your password to it. Today (2014) I am choosing to use the clipboard/keepass to manage complex/unique passwords. Perhaps in the future (2015) everybody will support something like the Yubikey HW OTP... in which case it won't matter if everyone sees my password! Chris
