How to do it

1. 01

   Open the keyboard in any text field.

2. 02

   Tap the clipboard icon. If you do not see it, tap the four-square toolbar menu and add Clipboard.

3. 03

   If the clipboard is off entirely, tap the gear on the Gboard toolbar and turn Clipboard on.

4. 04

   Pin a clip you need to keep. Leave passwords out of it.

The hour limit is the point. A one-time code should not still be sitting in the keyboard tomorrow.
