Clear Clipboard setting doesn't work for 3 minutes

netnothing

Noticed today that I could still paste a password from 1P that I copied yesterday. Looking at my settings, it seems this is only doing this when I have 3 minutes selected. I tried 30 seconds and 2 minutes and both worked fine.

Hi @netnothing,

On the Mac these timers, and the timers associated with automatic vault locking are handled by 1Password mini, a helper process that is set to run all the time in the background. Now due to the locked down nature of iOS apps we don't have the same flexibility here as we do in OS X. Instead we are reliant in 1Password being kept open in the background for this sort of task. If you copy a password from inside 1Password for iOS and then shut it down via iOS's multitasking screen we can't clear the clipboard at the appropriate time. Could this explain what you've observed at all or are you finding that there seems to be a bug when 3 minutes is selected specifically?

Seems to be just 3 minutes specifically.

I have a iPhone and iPad both running the latest iOS and latest 1P.
I have Background App refresh on and 1P is on in the settings

Open 1P
Copy a password
Open Safari
Paste the password

I have tested with the following:

Clear Clipboard in:
30 seconds = works fine, password is cleared after the time
2 minutes = works fine, password is cleared after the time
3 minutes = password is never cleared

In all these tests, 1P is NEVER shut down via the multitasking screen.
1P is setup with Touch ID on the phone and without on the iPad

Hi @netnothing,

I'd like you to thank you for posting back with your findings. Something does seem broken here so I've created a couple of bug reports. There is the report for what you found but I also stumbled upon a situation where if you don't return from either the Auto-Lock or Clear Clipboard page back to Security the setting doesn't hold. I don't know if that's standard behaviour or not but it could lead to confusion.

Thank you for bring this to our attention.
