Idea: Put password in clipboard for some seconds and revert back to previous content

[chrilep]

Idea from a colleague who does not have a GitHub account and does not want one...

Problem / Use Case

On my device the Windows Defender Credential Guard is active. I usually use copy & paste to get my password into the login dialog. Since LaunchRDP knows the password it could put it in my clipboard for some seconds.

Proposed Solution

Click on any "Launch" button: LaunchRDP should store current clipboard content. Then put the password of the user used for the associated connection into clipboard. The user now is able to Ctrl.-V it into the login dialog. After some seconds LaunchRDP should restore old clipboard content.

Alternatives Considered

Maybe detect Credential Guard status and inform the user about it and provide this solution.
