You could use keepass2 to type your password for you. In my experience
it's a bit slow if you have a very long password. The trick is to
increase default-cache-ttl in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf to improve usability.
Change default auto-type to {Password}{ENTER}, entering the name of the
target window helps (pinentry-gtk-2 or pinentry-qt4 for Debian Stable).
This method is not perfect: some malware could record virtual keystrokes
from keepass2. There is a "Two-channel auto-type obfuscation" feature
supposed to increase security but it doesn't work with pinentry-gtk-2 or
pinentry-qt4 AFAIK...
If anybody knows how to increase speed of keepas2 --> pinentry
communication or how to enable two-channel auto-type obfuscation, let me
know.
Enigmail 1.8.0 was terrible but 1.8.1 works very well on Debian Stable
with regular Icevode version. Thanks for the good work! :-)
Thanks.
