A clipboard manager is an absolute have to have. Having the last 40 or so clibboard items available to me instinctively has increased my productivity and the speed at which i can do anything on a computer. I use the one that is part of the Alfred power pack, but there are plenty of others out there. https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/clipboard/

For Windows, there's Ditto (http://ditto-cp.sourceforge.net/). It's insanely useful for slinging text around, like when you're copy-pasting a ticket number into several different places in-between other bouts of work that need the clipboard. Also useful for saving small URL/code/SQL snippets and retrieving them with a quick incremental search.

This seems at odds with a password manager, though.

Alfred's clipboard manager will auto-exclude anything that's copied from 1Password. You can add more auto-exclude rules yourself too.

Not knowledgeable about this, but you raise an interesting point.

The Alfred webpage says: "By default, Alfred ignores popular password applications like the macOS Keychain Access and 1Password, so that you don't inadvertently copy a password to your clipboard."

It's not about remembering passwords, it's for code snippets or URLs. I also find these invaluable.
