      I don't know if this has been mentioned before, it was certainly new to
    Microsoft when I mentioned it too them.
    
      If you lock your workstation it's still possible to paste the contents of the
    clipboard buffer into the "User name" prompt.  Not terribly clever for hiding
    what you've been doing.
    
      Microsoft acknowledge the problem but made no promises about fixing it.
    Obvious workaround.
