Universal Clipboard

Hi. With Universal Clipboard, if I copy a password from 1Password on my Mac it is available on my iOS device. If I copy a password from 1Password on my iOS device, it is available on my Mac. This is convenient, and I realize that pasteboard content is not sent to Apple's servers. Still it would seem safer for copied passwords to stay on the local device.

As you probably know, Apple added APIs in Sierra and iOS 10 to allow developers to restrict clipboard contents to their local host:

https://developer.apple.com/reference/appkit/nspasteboardcontentsoptions

https://developer.apple.com/reference/uikit/uipasteboardoption

I am requesting that clipboard contents be restricted to their local host.

Thanks.

John
