Clear clipboard

Under the security settings, there is an option to clear the clip board by toggling a switch. The time lapse is 45 seconds. I used to be able to set a time for this, say 2 minutes. Is this option not now available?
Any chance of getting it back. I find that 45 seconds is not always long enough.
Sorry, perhaps I should have joined the post made earlier about the 45 second thing.

    Hi @Furzul,

    Sorry -- unfortunately not. This is not a configurable setting (other than "on" or "off") in the latest versions. We found that longer settings would not work in many cases because 1Password was being cleared from memory by iOS before it could perform the clear function, and so even though clearing the clipboard was enabled it would never actually be cleared.

    After learning of that limitation we felt it would be best to have a static timeout that has a much higher rate of success than allow for user selectable times that had much less of a chance of actually working. We felt if folks selected that they would like the clipboard cleared it was important that we do everything we could to make that happen.

    Thanks.
