[Enigmail] Paste passphrase from clipboard into pinentry dialogbox
Hello, since upgrading to Enigmail 1.8.x it's not possible anymore to paste the passphrase into the pinentry dialogbox. I'm running Xubuntu 12.04 and neither ctrl+v nor mouse buffer is working (as I am managing my passphrases with keepass I also tried autotype without success). Is this a bug or a feature?!?

Re: [Enigmail] Paste passphrase from clipboard into pinentry dialogbox
Ok, just for the record: this is an issue with pinentry - see e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pinentry/+bug/326132 https://bugs.g10code.com/gnupg/issue1374 https://bugs.g10code.com/gnupg/issue1368 It's absolutely ridiculous how usability is screwed by design and justified with security reasons...

Best, André This is a feature of GPGv2. I originally discovered this a few versions ago of Enigmail (probably 1.7.2). It seems that for GPGv2 it requires specific applications for passphrase entry and of the ones that work with GPG none of them appear to allow copying/pasting of the passphrase, in my experience. My guess is that this is for added security. ___ enigmail-users mailing list enigmail-users@enigmail.net To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net ___ enigmail-users mailing list enigmail-users@enigmail.net To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net ___ enigmail-users mailing list enigmail-users@enigmail.net To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
