There's also the option of password auto-typing keyboards, for example the
password manager KeePass2Android includes one. This one can be used by
opening a password entry and then selecting its soft keyboard in Android
for text input, then pressing its buttons to enter username and password.

Safer option if you're worried about any apps snooping on the clipboard.
