Re:Autofill in password managers can allow login credentials... by blockarchitech on Monday July 26, 2021 @09:30PM (#27967590)
Both of you're statements are valid. If an attacker has access to your device you are *severely* compromised and you can't do much. I am going off the idea that your password manager clears your clipboard history however, but this is a valid and true statement. The thing is: nothing will be 100% secure. Ever. But if we evolve our security at the same rate loopholes, etc are being found, we can prevent data breaches, identity theft, etc. Before it even happens.

I guess my feeling is that doing something like this when your machine is already compromised is a little like putting your key under the welcome mat instead of leaving it plainly visible. Perhaps for the very incurious attacker they won't get around it but it's not much effort to find.
