Why would you say that ? All applications in your computer have access to your clipboard.

Yet your clipboard should never contain sensitive data in the first place.

Because I was under the impression clipboard could not be accessed by other applications. A part in memory that can share its contents when the user requests, not when an application requests.

Well that's news to me, everybody's going on about security in cookies, but clipboard is thought to be safe.

The clipboard is the 'place' where text goes when it's copied (as well as other data types) and from where it's read when it's pasted. It only exists in the RAM, I think
lf = love.filesystem
ls = love.sound
la = love.audio
lp = love.physics
lt = love.thread
li = love.image
lg = love.graphics
