Passlock v2.3.5

Passlock v2.3.5 - Clipboard Timeout & Major Bug Fixes

This patch focuses mostly on a minor update and major bug fixes.

Clipboard Timeout

Users can choose the clipboard clearing timeout from the Options Menu navigating by the Esc Menu.

Users can select from the following:

• 10 seconds
• 30 seconds
• 60 seconds (1 minute)
• 120 seconds (2 minutes)
• 300 seconds (5 minutes)
• Never clear (Clipboard Auto-clear: DISABLED)

Bug Fixes

The Right-Click Menu was bugged in v2.3.4 build, since it was not responsive to the clickable area for each credential. This build actively checks for the fields used by each credential and aligns the right-click area accordingly while maintaining proper spacing.

This is the most stable release for now, and future updates will be released shortly.
