Disable Clipboard History
Answered
The Clipboard history saves passwords that were copied with a password management system like KeePass.
This is a possible security risk.
How can the clipboard history be disabled?
Other clipboard managers like the one built into Windows 10, or dito oppress these entries.

Paste from History... feature is core functionality, so there is no way to completely disable it, unfortunately.
At the same time, the IDE does not maintain the history of clipboard contents captured when you're not using the IDE. As a workaround, you can copy a password from 1Password, then copy some other text, switch to the IDE, and press Ctrl-Shift-V, you will not see your password in the history.
Egor Klepikov Please add an option to disable this, this is a huge security vulrability. Having passwords, private keys and other sensitive information saved in plane text on disk wiht no way to disable this is very dangerous
DY Interaction with clipboard is a core feature to text editor and IDE, it would be more reasonable to avoid copying sensitive information into clipboard as much as possible, and overwrite the clipboard after having to do it, like the workaround from Egor.
