Jared: only if it is obvious to the user. After "Copy" on the recovery key (backup setup/restore) and on invite tokens/links with embedded secrets, show a small inline countdown on the button — "Copied · clears in 60 s" ticking down — and at zero write an empty string to the clipboard only if the clipboard still holds our value (navigator.clipboard.readText() where permitted; otherwise skip the clear rather than wiping something else the user copied). Cancel the timer if the user copies something else in the app. Setting-free.

Done in 9363629e: the recovery key's Copy button becomes Copied · clears in 60 s and counts down; at zero the clipboard is cleared only if it still holds the key (readText() where permitted — if the browser refuses to read, nothing is wiped rather than risk eating something else). Any other copy made in the app cancels the timer. No setting. The invite link isn't covered on purpose: it's a matrix.to permalink, not a secret. Verified headless with a fake clock: countdown ticks, clipboard emptied at 0; copying something else mid-countdown cancels and leaves that content untouched.
