> What is that?

I believe they refer to KeePassXC's autofill feature, which autotypes credentials into other applications. I've never used this in X and won't use it on Wayland, as I prefer to keep all applications isolated.

I Ctrl-C to copy and then manually paste the password. Wayland is better for this method because I know the clipboard is cleared once I close KeePassXC.

That's nice, if you don't have to always copy both the username and password or if you don't have custom autotype set up. Also I disagree, if I do not trust my password manager, I should not be using it at all.
