kdeconnect clipboard passwords security
Hi,
I believe default kdeconnect settings are to share clipboard content.
I use a password manager to store my passwords; that means that at some point
the passwords will be stored in the clipboard, even if it is for a short
period of time.
Androids applications might or might not have access to the clipboard; there
are hundreds of them, sometimes it is convenient they have access to the
clipboard; in all case it is difficult task to make a thorough review of each
and every one of them in the concern of clipboard access.
I'm no security expert, but it seems to me that clipboard sharing as a default
behavior is a huge security issue.
The issue came to my attention when some Oxford Dictionary asked me if I
wanted it to pronounce password for me.
I was wondering if some tuning about default kdeconnect settings could be done
on the debian package side; or if it was a pure upstream matter.
Also there might be far superior solution to that password leaking issue of
which I'm unaware of.
Best,
Chris
