How does it detect passwords? Usually those are just plain-text when copied.

Either way, I think it is better to not copy passwords to the clipboard or the selection, but store and transfer them via password-manager/browser/etc APIs.

With KDE on Wayland, there is a clipboard hint MIME type `x-kde-passwordManagerHint` for passwords that clipboard managers can choose to drop.

Not too much support out there, but at least some important things do:

At least in my experience, it works with the password and clipboard managers I use, and even some command-line utilities like wl-clipboard.

Wish it was a protocol-level setting, though, instead of something KDE specific and honored at the application level.
