I know of threee patterns to solve this problem (and increase usability as a

Those methods transfer the data to another process, and that is certainly even more safe since then the sensitive data is not even present in the heap of the first process.

But: introducing a second process or a daemon or something for this purpose, while safer, would be a significant new factor and complication that would basically prevent a huge portion of our users from using it.

I think a simpler first step could be to just "scramble" the data while "long-term stored" in memory.
