I have auto-clearing clipboard. Sorry, no passwords today.
You shouldn't be copying those into the clipboard in the first place. Even if your clipboard clears automatically it's still easily sniffed. Passwords should be in your password manager or your browser's saved password database, not in your clipboard though.
Yeah, I never put my passwords in a clipboard, I use post-it notes.
Some people might say that that is worse but it's actually not as bad since they are still less readable than the clipboard on Most devices which is unprotected memory.
Yes, I have them in Bitwarden.
Just sometimes I need to login into apps and Bitwarden doesn't show up there.
