I was going to point that out. Not that I knew the details, but my understanding is that if it can't be avoided at all, good password managers will go out of their way to clear out what they've copied to the clipboard after a relatively short period of time.

Gotta say, I use Keepass; I thought it cleared the copied password from the clipboard after about 30 seconds. I know it’s not available after a short time. I’ll look at the password history later today to see if it’s retained there.
[followup]: copied the password from Keepass. It did not appear in the {winkey} + V clipboard list at all; after 30 seconds it is cleared from the clipboard (was not available for to be pasted).

WINKEY+V brings up window asking to enable clipboard history. Seems for my box it's not defaulted on.
|

Not on my system, because I have not enabled clipboard history.

What is this "WINKEY" of which you speak?

It's similar to a Smiley, but with only one eye.

Any decent password manager with a "copy to clipboard" option should be using the Windows.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer namespace to ensure that the password doesn't get added to the clipboard history, and doesn't synchronize with other computers logged in under your account.
It's a bit of a pain to use from a non-store app, but it's not too bad:

I remember when Win 10 was out, this came up somewhere on this forum, I believe.
And I learned to disable that feature...

Is there a way to set up a filter to send all CP posts having 'wordle' in the subject line to the thrash bin?
|
|

|

I don't think so, but you can always ask for it in the B&S. It could be interesting to have such a filter, but I am not sure if it would be a nightmare for the hamsters.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yep there is one. If you see 'wordle' skip it
|
|
|
|
|
Ah. "Intelligent filtering"!

I was looking for something similar to run Linux, what is it about it you don't like?

Thanks, good to know.

We've had good luck with these in an industrial environment. They're sealed and the bodies are heatsinks to disperse the heat.

We also used to use Quanmax computers. Looks like they've been purchased by Kontron so I can't speak to how well they are now. But it looks like they have similar offerings.

Years before Azure, MS offered a web backup service. One Norwegian guy was informed by MS that unless he within 48 hours removed that photo of him changing the diapers of his 4 hours (!) old daughter, his account would be closed down. MS considered a picture of a 4 hours year old baby on a changing table to be 'child porn'. The photo was stored in a folder requiring a password for access.
This case is one (of several) that has led me to the conclusion: Never ever use a web service for backup! Maybe you agree with the conclusion from MS, that a photo of diaper changing is child porn. I consider it an even bigger problem that MS discovered the photo, and note: without being told the password.
So: If you let MS (or any other web based file service) store your files - photos or otherwise: Encrypt the files before leaving it to the storage service. Encrypt them yourself. If MS, or anyone else, says 'We will encrypt the files for you', then you give the service provider full access to all your private data. I am not willing to do that.

Would be better not to use online storage at all.
Get a NAS or a file server or removable disk just not online.
