Now your security issue is other applications accessing your clipboard.

I'm quite aware of this ever since Samsung/Android started adding a whole interface for the clipboard and added integration with the keyboard (it shows some codes in the clipboard sometimes so you can quickly paste). Can the clipboard be accessed from other apps in the background? Probably?

Apple addressed this in iOS 15 with Secure Paste: https://www.macrumors.com/2021/06/08/ios-15-secure-paste/
Clipboard clears after 10 seconds.
