(1) @informatik01’s excellent explanation doesn’t fully address the need for the echo| at the beginning of the command line. The reason is that set /p is the command to read a value (a line) from the standard input. Without echo|, the set /p=MyPassword|clip command would silently sit and read a line from the terminal. (2) I hate to see a | without spaces before and after. But beware that echo | set /p=MyPassword | clip will write MyPassword (with a trailing space) to the clipboard. You can prevent that by adding quotes: echo | set /p="MyPassword" | clip.

@bers If you use just echo your_pass| clip it will also put/append the new line character at the end of your_pass. Just try it yourself and when you paste it in some editor you'll notice that the cursor is on the next line (if you have an editor that can show new line characters, like Notepad++ or SciTE, use it and you will see CRLF on Windows at the end of your_pass). But MikeZ's current solution works perfectly (as a way of copying a password to the clipboard).

Please, what is the advantage of echo|set /p=MyPassword|clip compared to just echo MyPassword|clip?
