Understand safeguards and confirmation alerts designed to prevent accidental test data entry on production environments.
Goal
Understand the safeguards built into Copiqo when interacting with live production environments, protecting your customer databases from mock test entries.

Why Production Safeguards Matter
Accidentally running test workflows on production is a common developer and QA mistake that can lead to: - Sensitive credential leaks or overwriting real client settings. - Fake checkout transactions or fake orders in production. - Significant database cleanup time for operations teams.
Copiqo implements a Safety-First approach, creating an active barrier before credentials ever reach your browser clipboard or page inputs.

Copiqo Production Safeguards
When a workspace is categorized as prod (or when its domain matches a production URL rule), Copiqo activates these safety overlays:
1. Clipboard Copy Confirmation Clicking the Copy icon for a Secret field inside a PROD workspace will trigger a confirmation dialog. Copiqo won't copy the value to the clipboard until you click Confirm.
2. Autofill Confirmation Intercept Clicking the Autofill Record button on a PROD workspace displays a prominent warning modal. The extension will only populate form fields after you click Confirm & Proceed.

The 15-Minute Safety Bypass Mode
Temporarily Ignore Alerts During Bulk Tasks If you need to perform frequent production operations and wish to suppress recurring confirmation popups: - Check the Bypass confirmation for 15 minutes option on the modal. - For the next 15 minutes, Copiqo copies and autofills without warning popups. - The bypass automatically expires after 15 minutes, resetting your security layers. - You can manually disable the active bypass early by clicking the shield icon in the extension settings page.

Safety Checklist Before Submitting Live Forms
Always remember the golden rule
Before hitting the submit button on any production form, perform a quick audit:
1. Check the address bar: Verify the host is exactly where you want to submit.
2. Check the Copiqo header color: A red header indicates you are currently in a PROD workspace.
3. Verify input values: Ensure no fake test strings (test123, abc) are left in inputs to be visible to real users.
