If an attacker is on your device, they very likely have access to your clipboard, so how is that more secure? I cringe whenever my password manager's autofill fails and I have to fall back to copy/pasting, because I know that I'm now storing my password in system memory in plaintext. Most password managers clear the clipboard after some timeout, but that's hardly helpful against an on-device threat
