Version: (using KDE 4.0.0) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux I noticed that if I copy a password in kwalletmanager the password will appear in klipper. I don't like this behaviour. I think it is OK to copy from kwalletmanager, but the password should not appear in klipper. This is in my opinion a security problem. You only have to click on klipper to see possible passwords.
Maybe it would be a good idea to have the possibility for deleting an klipper entry by pressing "del"-key on active entry?
When you copy the password to the clipboard, then klipper would definitely show it. The copy/paste method is not secure in a general manner. Perhaps using mime types would help implement some filtering in klipper, but then you'll no longer be able to paste your password where you wanted. Or perhaps we should implement g111 suggestion.

I expect that somehow Klipper needs to integrate in KWin and then we could define a mime type/secure flag which gets filtered directly in KWin to not be passed to Klipper in the first place.

Being able to remove an entry from the klipper history by pressing the DEL key still was a good idea. In case of passwords it would be a manual workaround for this case.
I'll change this to Reported.
