# Does the Junk Yard save passwords I copy?

No. When you copy from a password manager — or from anything that marks what you copied as a secret or as temporary — the Junk Yard skips it on purpose. It never lands on the board and it's never shared with your other devices.

This relies on the app you copy from labelling the content as secret, which password managers do. If you copy a password from an ordinary document or a plain note, it looks like any other text; delete that scrap, or switch off **Capturing** before copying sensitive text.
