Hey Kosh team

I am using the Ubuntu system (system info mentioned in the image).
I can create the user, but after creating it, when I try to get the user credentials then it shows copied in the clipboard, but no credentials are copied in the clipboard.
Can you please add a way where we enter a password and it will print creds in the CLI?
🚀

Hi @Ayush2832 ,

Thanks for bringing up the issue!

After investigating, it seems the clipboard functionality issue is caused by the golang-design/clipboard
library, which doesn’t currently support Wayland compositors. The maintainers have marked this as a platform-specific limitation, so it’s uncertain whether they will merge a fix. Another contributor proposed a similar solution in the past, but it hasn’t been integrated yet.

To address this, I'll be adding explicit Wayland handling within my project as a temporary workaround. Additionally, I plan to raise a PR with the golang-design/clipboard project to see if they might reconsider, though I can't guarantee it will be accepted given the platform-specific nature of the issue.

Regarding the idea of printing the password as text, I’m hesitant to expose the secret in the terminal buffer for security reasons. For now, I won’t be adding that feature, but it’s something I may revisit in the future, potentially with a more secure approach.

Thanks again for your feedback! I’ll keep you updated on any progress.

HI @kashish
The code on the branch patch/clipboard_on_wayland is working fine, and I can get the password on the clipboard. I have attached the screenshot of the result
