Desktop Firefox passwords are not copying from Password Manager page (about:logins) to Windows 11 clipboard history (Win + V)

Kayl

How to recreate issue: 1. Copy password from an entry on about:logins on Firefox desktop app (Windows 11) 2. Open Windows 11 clipboard history (Win. Key + V) 3. Password is not listed in clipboard history 4. Password CAN be pasted within Firefox browser (including separate window) and separate applications 5. Copying another piece of information overwrites the item like normal a typical clipboard tool is supposed to work; you just have to copy it again if you need it again instead of opening Clipboard History.

What it affects: - Copying and pasting multiple passwords to a document, other password manager, or etc. is simply more cumbersome. - When managing multiple logins for the moment, it's easy to get confused (Is the password I just pasted for this login, or the last one?)

Obviously this isn't a big deal, and I am more so wondering if it's a bug or if it's meant to be restricted in such a way to increase security or something.

Passwords in Firefox are being copied with [Sensitive] flag, what effectively excludes data from Cloud Clipboard/Clipboard History.

Just confirming, following your instructions;

The password does copy to other places, i.e I can copy and paste to a website login but it doesn't show in Win + V

Ah, thank you! I didn't know that was a thing, and is helpful to know.

Kayl, ordinary text copied within private windows may also be hidden from the Windows clipboard manager. Not sure if there is a way to turn this off.
