The owner's ruling on #19 is
now in the README, under ExportPrivKey: copying the key leaves it on the
clipboard, because the clipboard is the user's, clearing it would go

copied since. ShowRecoveryPhrase copies the phrase the same way and
points back to it. Both describe the warning each password screen
shows on next, which does not mention the clipboard.

extension error ([#487](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/487)). Its
