Copy and paste passwords safe?

I was curious about this...if I generate a password using KeePass.

Copy it into an encrypted text file (w/ AxCrypt)

Then say when I go to my online banking sites, and copy the password from that text file into the password field at the site, is this a way to prevent password logging/stealing to some extent? Or is it useless because some keyloggers monitor CTRL+C / +V commands?

 

There are ways to capture what is in the clipboard.

A simple, albeit manual, method to circumvent this is to paste the password into the password field first, then type some gibberish into the user field, cut the gibberish just typed (to overlay the password data in the clipboard), then type your username.

If you have a keylogger, you have bigger problems.

 

Well i am certain that I don't just wasn't sure if this method was useful at all to prevent stuff such as that

 

Keepass can auto-clean clipboard in certain amount of time. Also version 2 has Two-Channel Auto-Type Obfuscation ("antikeylogger", it is safer than copy/paste).
