Clipboard cannot delete password automatically

As title.
win+v will show password in the clipboard and it will not be deleted automatically.

There is no easy solution to this, unfortunately. There are some technical reasons why deleting items from the clipboard history is currently not supported. I investigated this a bit more, and I found out that there may be a few options to make it work. I'll track that in #74.

The reason it shows the password there is because you have clipboard history enabled, which will remember old passwords even after they're cleared by pass-winmenu. If you can live without it, the easiest solution is to simply disable this feature (Settings > System > Clipboard > Clipboard history), but if you use it, that's of course not an option.

If you don't want to disable clipboard history, probably the best solution would be to prevent pass-winmenu from placing passwords on your clipboard, and let it type your passwords into login forms instead. You can do this by editing your hotkey configuration and setting copy-to-clipboard to false.

If you do need the clipboard feature in some places, you can also create a separate hotkey that places your password on the clipboard, and only use that hotkey when you need it.

Thanks for quick reply, Since I use this tool in my personal, it doesn't matter actually.

There is the secret option (used by wclip) that hides the clipboard content from many clipboard history tools, like Aceme, Ditto, ..
