[Bug 326132] Re: [wishlist] Pinentry does not allow to paste into it, why?!

[Martin Mulazzani]

Same here - tinfoilhat users should use HSM anyway, and there is no
protection against keyloggers.

Threats should be continously assessed, and I find this issue a true
usability problem.

  [wishlist] Pinentry does not allow to paste into it, why?!

Status in pinentry package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

  How to use auto generated password with an pinentry based program.

  1. generate some random text
  2. write it in a file
  3. paste it into the pinentry GUI input.
  4. FAIL \o/

  Why the hell pasting into this window is disabled, and why it steals
  focus...

  Please fix that
