Description

Hello,
I am using keybase encryption to store some of my passwords outside my password manager, but there are situations I need to copy a long, decrypted text from the android's Keybase decruption box.

I fully understand a leftover password is a security issue, however, would it be possible to implement through an optional opt-in switch somewhere in the settings? I have issues copying over a 64-char long passwords letter by letter.

Android version: 11
Phone model: Xiaomi Redmi Mi 10T Pro
Keybase mobile version: 5.7.0-20210618180032+ad5e6ddbec

Research direction

Start with the Android client's decrypted text box and the settings entry point, then verify how copying is currently restricted. Done means an opt-in setting permits copying long decrypted text while the default behavior remains protected; the issue does not name a file or test to run.
