  Under options | Various | Clipboard History there is an option to exclude capturing the clipboard from various applications.
  I have Exclude selected and KeePass.exe listed.  
  
  It worked before. Not sure as of what version it stopped working.  However, it is not working now and remembering the passwords copied to the clipboard while in KeePass.
  
  I tried restarting and clearing out and using the Get window info button to re-capture the info for KeePass.  However, that didn't seem to do anything.

  Hi Steve,
  
  I tried to reproduce the issue but the exclusion is working for me. What does the "Get window info" returns for the KeePass.exe window? Could you paste it here?

  It should work. This code used in QCE to exclude apps has not changed since v1.0. As you know AHK, you can test it:
  
  

  Code:

  #SingleInstance,Force
#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1

global strExclude := "KeePass.exe|KeePass" ; from the options window
MsgBox, % ApplicationIsExcluded("C:\Users\sjmpr\Documents\NewDatabase4PW.kdbx - KeePass", "WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.30495d1_r6_ad1", "KeePass.exe")
ExitApp

;------------------------------------------------------------
ApplicationIsExcluded(strWindowClass, strWindowTitle, strProcessName)
;------------------------------------------------------------
{
    Loop, parse, % strExclude, |
        if StrLen(A_LoopField)
            and (InStr(strWindowClass, A_LoopField)
            or InStr(strWindowTitle, A_LoopField)
            or InStr(strProcessName, A_LoopField))
            return true
    
    return false
}
;------------------------------------------------------------

  I have the same issue as OP and the excluded program is not being excluded. 
  
  I don't know if it worked in the past or not though.
  
  
  Beta v3.0.9.4
  Windows 11 Pro
  Version 24H2 (0S Build 26100.3775)

  I confirmed on a second system that it works for me.
  
  In your tests, when KeePass copies the credentials to the Clipboard, is it done in the application itself (in the KeePass GUI)? Or is it done in a plugin in a browser (or another widget) that would not be identified according to the same information as that returned by the "Get window info" button for the KeePass application? There would be a way to investigate this by opening the QCE database. I can provide more info on how to do this if you wish.
  
  Also, is there a way in KeePass to avoid using the Clipboard to pass the credentials to a web app? For example, with Bitwarden, this app does not put info in the Clipboard when filling the credentials into a web page.

  I think I found the issue. Although it works, it seems to be doing the opposite of what I expect.  When I changed the setting to be "Include Only" it worked as I would expect it to when I select "Exclude"

  UPDATE: Now it doesn't appear to capture the clipboard from ANY Application.

  Yes, if you "Include Only" KeePass and KeePass is not recognized by QCE, nothing will be captured. The issue is that KeePass is not recognized by QCE on your system.

  I downloaded and tested KeePass-2.58 and QCE exclusions worked with exclusion "KeePass". I did it with the portable installation, with fresh default settings, using the example "Default entry" created by the app. Maybe some settings in KeePass would cause the issue?
  
  Maybe KeePass is a good password manager but I would just recommend to take a look at Bitwarden that is also free.

  I uninstalled KeePass and the three extra Plugins I had and installed a fresh copy. Also downgraded QCE to Ver 3.0 and now all seems to work as expected.

  Great! Downgrading to v3.0 should not be required. Thanks for the follow up.
