Since pinentry prevents pasting, this makes authenticated operations inconvenient. I would like to be able to edit my config file to:\r\n\r\n1. select the pinentry to use, and\r\n2. configure the frequency of passphrase prompts.\r\n\r\nFor instance, I'd prefer to disable passphrase prompts entirely, and replace the ncurses path with a shell script which decrypts the passphrase using a smartcard. Others may prefer a passphrase prompt for every operation, or to use the ncurses pinentry rather than the GTK one."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/keybase/keybase-issues/issues/comments/185370784","html_url":"https://github.com/keybase/keybase-issues/issues/2069#issuecomment-185370784","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/keybase/keybase-issues/issues/2069","id":185370784,"user":{"login":"flamsmark","id":639937,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/639937?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/flamsmark","html_url":"https://github.com/flamsmark","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/flamsmark/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/flamsmark/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/flamsmark/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/flamsmark/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/flamsmark/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/flamsmark/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/flamsmark/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/flamsmark/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/flamsmark/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-02-17T19:40:40Z","updated_at":"2016-02-17T19:40:40Z","body":"@jlb1234 I think you're making some unwarranted assumptions about passwords.
