Describe your request

Auto-sharing the clipboard to a mobile device is really useful; however, when using password managers, you might not want to share passwords, as they could be stored insecurely in the mobile device's clipboard manager.

Proposed solution

Use clipboard MIME data to determine if content should be shared. Some password managers set the appropriate MIME data to mark content as private, as demonstrated in this example from KeePassXC.

KDE Connect already uses the x-kde-passwordManagerHint MIME data to check for passwords. It also includes a config option to control whether sharing passwords is permitted.
