Clipboard pasted into Firefox on my computer appears on my Fairphone screen

Hello,
I am surprised to see the contents of what I pasted into Firefox on my Ubuntu computer appearing in a square on the screen of my Fairphone 5. How is this possible? Is it because of my murena.io account? This poses a security problem for me, especially when passwords are pasted.
Thank you for your attention.

do you have some clipboard copy service active? gsconnect / kde connect?

Yes, I am using KDE Connect on the phone to synchronise my address book hosted on an Infomaniak account, but this appearance on the Fairphone of data copied to Firefox on my Ubuntu computer is very recent.

that notification square should have an icon somewhere that assigns it to App origin device-side

Indeed, there is an icon on the side of the square that links to KDE Connect. When you click on the KDE Connect icon, the pasted text appears and can be redirected to the computer’s screen. I think the best thing for me to do now is to stop using KDE Connect and migrate my address book to my Murena account.
Thank you very much for your help!

On your phone I think 3 dot menu r/h side. choose plugin settings to toggle all the KDEConnect plugins on or off may do the trick.
