It's the clipboard, you shouldn't put secure items on the clipboard generally speaking. (We all do it anyway)
that too, but not just that. how does access control work, how is memory safety around the receiving and authenticating code, is the traffic encrypted and how..because keystrokes, and I think mouse actions are also sensitive
No, password managers are best practice.
Password managers are the bees knees if you have to use a password, I do like the authenticator only logins especially if you have an obnoxious number of sites you have to login to. I will say though, that clipboards are tricky especially in an environment where VNC/Screen Connect etc are actively used. Screen Connect especially will happily grab the clipboard contents and share it with the other user.
Probably shouldn't use software that will remotely log and upload things that you store to your keyboard. Should have a policy against that.
