I like that it's possible, but I think it should be treated like a permission with a user accessible toggle in settings for each app.
I would like to see the same thing for clipboard read access. In the same way app has to prompt you for location permission it would have to prompt you to read the clipboard and you would actually have the option to allow it all the time which is handy for some apps like clipboard manager, or don't allow it alltogether which is handy for some random apps you don't trust.
It’s a really good feature imo and I’d love to see it be more common. This is how iOS does it:
It could be nice, but also annoying in some cases. I would at least want to have an option to allow all the time.
and preferably an option of "ask everytime as yes no"
Oh yea, something needs to be done about the clipboard. It's unsettling to know that a random app can just get your clipboard. Sometimes bitwarden doesn't detect a password field for some reason so I have to copy it to the clipboard 😖 don't feel safe...
You can install Shizuku and AppOps to set default permissions for new apps and limit clipboard permission for installed apps.
I'm assuming those require root?
I'm not really into rooting. More attack vectors. I have rooted in the past and managed to brick some phones, not really in the moods to destroying stuff.
It uses wireless or local ADB. No root required.
I believe Bitwarden has a setting to “wipe” the clipboard after some time.
Not perfect, but better
Does it have a virtual keyboard?
Not as far as I know.
