KeypassXC takes a slightly different approach. It uses named pipes to send the password from the application to the browser extension.

Though the browser is where I find myself using it 95% of the time, they also have an "auto type" feature that will go to the last window and type in your password for you (again, without passing through the clipboard).

Sure, but those are all workarounds for specific uses and operating systems, which require specific integration between the app and the browser.

What I want is a native solution provided by the OS that would work for all apps and scenarios.
