--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
But how could we detect that something is likely to be a password or a credit
card number? Any heuristic we could implement would be either so inaccurate as
to be useless, or so over-broad as to trigger at a lot of inappropriate times.
I don't think that would work, sorry.
As you suspected, there is already a supported way for apps--which know whether
something is a password--to provide a hint to Klipper to not display the text.
They need to set the "x-kde-passwordManagerHint" metadata hint in the MIME data
for the copied text. So IMO the path forward is for apps to set that on
known-sensitive data when it's copied.
