[Bug 238954] Re: unable to paste passwords into seahorse passphrase windows
I also use very long passphrases stored in a password manager. I would like to be able to copy and paste the passphrase into Seahorse. I originally raised the issue here: https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=23015 but learned that this is the correct place to request the feature. Is it difficult to add something so simple? If you think it is a security risk, is it possible to make this an option available to users who understand and accept the risks? Thanks. ** Bug watch added: Mozdev Bugzilla #23015 https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=23015 -- unable to paste passwords into seahorse passphrase windows https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238954 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 238954] Re: unable to paste passwords into seahorse passphrase windows
For me, this means I either have to use rediculously simple passwords, or else store them somewhere I actually can paste them. In other words: I am forced to insecure workflows and manners because seahorse tries to make things secure for me. Just my $0.02, I am sure many more, like me, will either start using simple passwords, or else change to another tool. -- unable to paste passwords into seahorse passphrase windows https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238954 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 238954] Re: unable to paste passwords into seahorse passphrase windows
Hi, I just wanted to add that this behaviour is bugging me a lot as well. Using KeePassX for cross platform password db support with long random pass phrases for gpg keys is out of the question when you have to manually copy and paste. Even more so if you happen to use a lot of special chars and dead keys (accents) where you actually have to type an extra blank to make sure you don't get the wrong letter. Not to mention font problems when using chars like O vs. 0 or 1, l (small L) and I (capital i). I also do not understand, why keeping a pass phrase in memory indefinitely, as suggested by upstream, is considered more secure as storing it temporarily (default: 20 sec) in clipboard memory. For what it's worth, I will try and bring this to the seahorse maintainers attention. I understand that this bug will not be reopened, just wanted to add my opinion.

Upstream won't change the behaviour, as outlined in the paste below. Upstream comment: Comment #1 from Adam Schreiber(seahorse developer, points: 19) 2008-08-28 16:47 UTC [reply] You could store the passphrase securely in gnome-keyring. You would have to enter it manually once and then it would be provided automatically in the future. Go to System - Preferences - Encryption and Keyrings On the PGP Passphrases tab, select Always remember passphrases whenever logged in and additionally if you want to be asked before it's provided check the box next to Ask me before using a cached passphrase. -- unable to paste passwords into seahorse passphrase windows https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238954 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Not beeing able to paste is a security problem, because: If you use a password manager and use generated passwords that are impossible to remember you will have to show the password on screen to be able to enter it correctly in the seahorse password dialog. -- unable to paste passwords into seahorse passphrase windows https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238954 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to seahorse in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I would tend to agree with phr0ze in that this is not a bug but as designed and working as intended.
