Android reveals clipboard sensitive items

[nelsonjr]

On Android, all copies to clipboards are displayed on the screen. If this component is used to copy passwords, they are displayed on the screen, which is not ideal.

Please add the ability to mark content as sensitive so that it does not display what it copied when the component activates.

1. This is a react component, not an android lib.
2. I do not do dev for android and don't have a single android phone around. Cannot help much.
3. Please add a codepen with the way to reproduce the issue and/or send pull request with the fix

alternatively just don't use copy to clipboard for passwords

Thanks for the prompt response. I will do some research and see if I can help improve your great library.

FYI, password managers use the clipboard to save the password so you can paste in forms.

Thanks.

(I am using passwords managers since mid 2000s, so yeah they do copy) What I meant was not to use this library to copy passwords. You have to 1. intentionally add a button to copy and 2. click on it to copy value.
I do not believe it can accidentally copy and reveal your password

I am using your library as I am building a password manager. I will keep you posted on what I find.

In Android 13, the clipboard preview shows it:

Ah okay, makes sense then 👍
