There are several, in fact.  The moment you enter a passphrase into the
clipboard it becomes available to any other process -- including, say,
your web browser, which is currently parked on a webpage hosting malware
that's watching for activity.

If you want this to change, bring it up with GnuPG, not Enigmail.  The
pinentry dialog comes from them; we have no influence over it.

Further, swearing at people who are giving you software for free, and
answering your questions for free, doesn't do very much to encourage us
to continue doing these things for free.

Finally, I routinely enter a passphrase that's 128 bits of random noise
encoded in base64.  It was a bit of a headache to memorize, but it's
certainly possible.
