Package: pinentry-curses Version: 0.8.1-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When entering a passphrase to pinentry-curses, the length is indicated using asterisks. Even though typing a passphrase in the presence of other people is a bad idea in general, this length indication makes it worse. I set the severity of this issue is "normal", because it is a regression from gnupg version 1.x. On a related note, I figured that pinentry-curses would also no longer accept Ctrl-u to clear the currently entered password. This also appears to be a regression from gnupg version 1.x. As a bare minimum, the behaviour of showing the password length should be optional. Helmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
