I use ClipX at work (Windows), fairly sure it has a logging feature, and I think it can be told not to record from password fields; and Flycut at home (Mac) but Flycut doesn't seem to have logging.

Hmmm, everything? Unless you write perfectly all the time, that clipboard/file would be full of near-duplicates, corrections, copy/pastes, etc....

It would be a mess for me at least ;-)

That's a great way to end up with your passwords in a plaintext file
