Copying protected fields to the clipboard

Index  Previous  Next


If you want to copy data of a protected field of the selected record to the clipboard, press the Copy 'X' to clipboard button on the toolbar or press Ctrl+1 shortcut or select the corresponding item from the popup menu. The data then can be pasted from the clipboard to any application, but only once. Contents of the next non-protected field of the same record are copied to the clipboard also. Thus, the protected data is pasted at the first paste, and the non-protected - at subsequent paste. After that these data become unavailable to paste. Also the data will be unavailable to paste if not pasted within 1 minute. Once you need to paste it again you'll have to repeat the procedure (copy data to the clipboard). When program quits you won't be able to paste the data any more.

 

For example there is the following record:

And the following options to copy to the clipboard are available:

When you choose the Copy 'Password' to clipboard item, you will be able to paste the password to some password input field in other application and immediately after that to paste the user name to some other input field.

When you choose the Copy 'User name' to clipboard item, you will be able to paste the user name and immediately after that to paste the password.

NOTE: It is possible to turn off the secure clipboard copy using the Crypt-o Client options on the Security page.
