Auto-Clear Clipboard Password Feature

[hannes2]

I propose implementing a feature in Firefox that automatically clears passwords from the clipboard a certain time after they have been manually copied from the Firefox password manager. This functionality, inspired by KeePass, aims to enhance security by preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information left in the clipboard.

Key Points:

• Security Enhancement: Reduces the risk of password exposure through clipboard access.
• User Control: Allows users to define the duration after which copied passwords are cleared.

Technical Considerations:

• The feature could be integrated into Firefox's privacy/security settings, offering users the option to enable auto-clear and specify the duration.

I look forward to feedback from the community on this proposal to further enhance Firefox's security features.
