As far as I know, there has been a discussion going on about pasting strong, unique passwords to pinentry. There are two different views on this topic: The one side states, that it is non-sense to paste a password. The other side uses password managers and wants to be able to decide by themself. Now the developers of pinentry decided to allow for the latter, as they introduced the new configure flag "--enable-pinentry-qt4-clipboard". Please enable the flag in the current ebuild and allow the users how to handle the copy-pasta-issue! More information: https://bugs.g10code.com/gnupg/issue1374 Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Send encrypted e-mail. 2. Try to paste / autotype unique password for encryption key (e.g. KeepassX). 3. Most of the time this does not work, as pasting key to pinentry is not allowed. Expected Results: Pinentry allows pasted passwords -- if the user explicitly wants that.
Fixed in pinentry-0.9.0-r1 Thanks.
Great! :)
