Clipboard hooks.
Simple solution, open your app in a separate desktop with limited rights.

.... or use something like KeePass, which only leaves the password on the clipboard for a few seconds.

..on a separate desktop as I described; otherwise any clipboard-hook will have the contents as soon as the clipboard changes.

Can you elaborate a little, please. What do you mean by "separate desktop"?

A new desktop object in which you can open Windows. See CreateDesktop function (MSDN)[^].
--edit
The login-screen is an example of another desktop than the one that you are using normally. Access to that desktop is limited, even if you are running a background application on yours

Well ^this did come to mind 
A bunch of guys arguing about copy and paste security on an operating system that sends all your stuff up to Microsoft anyway
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Install a proxy and you can see (and modify) what is being sent; also, the keylogger was not included until Win10.
One does not argue about something that can be verified, that's a waste of time

Yes, you're right. I corrected my mistake.

They're coming out so fast at times it's hard to keep up to date. I've certainly never made any attempting at tracking them all. I just let it install whatever it wants in my VM.

Examples (#'s have been removed):
P O BOX
P.O. BOX
PMB
PO B0X
PO BO X
PO BOK
PO BOS
BOX
The one with the 'K' is interesting. 'K' is on the opposite side of the keyboard -- I can understand the 'S'.
The hardest part about parsing crap like this (there are 166,333 records) is determining what other variants I did not parse correctly (for example, considered as a street address, not a PO Box), not which ones I successfully accounted for.

You really need to parse addresses ?If you start doing that, there will always be outliers that you will miss.
I'd rather be phishing!

Fully agree! This is mission impossible. How can one know that "BOS" should be "BOX" and not "BOSS" or "BOSSA NOVA"? Keep it simple and no risk, no fun!

Sadly yes. And outliers are acceptable as we're trying to fill in some form fields that break out address, PO Box, and Rural Routes, and if everything fails, the address just gets put into the Address1 field.
We're aiming for improvement rather than perfection.

When we put our mail on vacation hold, it validates and 'normalizes' the address, so I do understand what you're working with.
Where I grew up, our address was RR#1; it wasn't until I was in my teens that we had an address with a number and street name.
So.. consider this.. are you only dealing with P.O. and its variants or do you have R.R. addresses as well?
|
|
|
|

RR, CR, HC, etc., as well as regular street addresses (as best as those are).
Perfect accuracy is not necessary, just best guess.

Well, then just parse the city & state/province and geocode to the center of that.
