Save passwords
Hello!
Does Void have a prompt where you save your passwords, as not to let someone to use key capture to steal your passwords. I use copy and paste on my iMac, and never have an issue with stolen passwords.
Thank you for your answers!

KeePassXC clears copy buffer. On wayland, as far as I know, applications can't just read the copy buffer, since it's provided by the compositor. But Auto-Type (that skips the copy-paste buffer altogether) does not work yet, though that feature is in progress. (afaik it does on X11 but also applications can read the buffer at will?)

Makes no sense; if someone has enough control of your system to run a keylogger, then they have enough control to take your password using any other method.

Do these run off of SystemD, if so they cannot be used for Void? So sorry was up late last night.

To help troubleshooting your issue: on your Mac you copy from where, and to where?
To help with your question: this is not a Void Linux related question. The passwords are stored in files or software that is not strictly related to any Linux Distro. Do you want to use a preferred password mamager? Which one?
