Which is fine because the browser has a private browsing mode, and the shell has the space trick (for example if a tool requires an SSH key as a command-line argument) as well as various "pinentry" things.
You'd need some API for applications to signal to Recall "the user has requested not to save this", and then every single program with a password input box would have to update to call this.

All the important controls here have to be done by the user. You really think the average user is going to blacklist things in the awful settings app?

what could the OS do to "blacklist" things on its own?
How would the OS have any chance of knowing I don't want my programming session recorded if I don't' tell it?
How would google chrome know to go to incognito mode if I don't tell it?
Of course the burden for this is on the user, what other way could possibly work?
I use bash history all the time, I use my browser history all the time.
To be able to use an OS history would be amazing.
What was the name of the esoteric software i was using to program my lego robot,
What was I working on last Thursday so I can fill out the government required SHRED report to get the Canadian RnD tax rebate.
What was the song i was listening to that Spotify played last Tuesday afternoon.
There are so many times i'd use a feature like this.
