Clipboard History on Samsung Keyboard
Is there a way to prevent the passwords from being saved in the keyboard's clipboard history?
There is that option to remove from the clipboard after n seconds. But that doesn't keep the password ...

1Password TeamHi loggor, thanks for writing in. My apologies for the delay in reply.
The "Clear clipboard" setting clears single-item clipboards by copying a blank value, " ", to the clipboard. Multi-item clipboards, such as Samsung's, prove more difficult as they can store copied values beyond where 1Password can clear them. Some devices also have a clipboard manager running in the background which can retain copied values separately. While it may not work with every device or clipboard manager, we're currently working on some changes to be able to clear the clipboard in as many places as we can.
One way to prevent information from being saved to the clipboard is to use Autofill where supported and split screen mode to drag and drop where it isn't.
With Samsung Keyboard you can also clear the clipboard manually:
1. Tap a text field to open the keyboard.
2. Tap the clipboard icon. If you don't see a clipboard icon select the three horizontal dots then check for the clipboard option there.
3. Tap the trash icon then select All or specific values and proceed with deleting them.
