Open Clipboard is garbled characters

I cannot get the clipboard to copy to other devices for some reason. When I copy a simple sentence in an SMS message from my Android phone (Pixel 5), for example, what is copied to my Chrome browser on my Windows 10 laptop looks like this:
U2zX1Hsp3BOvgOWXrK/YcQ===:=am33SYvYemKJujbdDg4aw/Us53fa9wKVgiMTVUZwHJs5d2XeCJmAycfHeWQ6YKeX

The same thing happens if I do it in reverse and copy something from my Chrome browser. A random string of characters is pasted to the clipboard of my Android phone.

Any idea what the issue is? The diagnostics always show everything is working. I have encryption set with the same password on both devices. Is this some encrypted version of the actual text that is not getting decrypted?

 

I assumed as much. I literally copy/paste the encryption password into both devices from LastPass, so I know it's the same.

 

Are you absolutely sure you copied it without spaces before or after the password? Perhaps try a shorter more reliable one? I'm not too sure if there are limitations on passwords but doesn't hurt to try I guess.
Since you're still getting garbled characters then something has gone wrong in the process. Try to make absolutely sure that it is set correctly on all devices.
