What happens if the user copies something else to the clipboard a few seconds before pass blanks it? Copying something non-sensitive and having that data mysteriously disappear from the clipboard is counter-intuitive and gets in the way. I think checking the clipboard content before blanking is still a good thing to do. Blanking if it's still the password is fine, but destroying new data is not. -- Brian Shore Senior Systems Engineer, Security Architect Network Redux, LLC 5200 SW Macadam Ave Ste 450 Portland, Oregon 97239 Desk: 503-274-9905 x503 _______________________________________________ Password-Store mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zx2c4.com/mailman/listinfo/password-store
