Package: gnugpg
Version: gnupg
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When I do 'gpg --gen-key' and it comes the time to input the passphrase,
the pinentry window asks for it only once. I would expect it to ask me
to input the passphrase twice, and make sure those match.
As I am a human and sometimes make typos when writing long complex passphrases,
this significantly hindered my user experience when I discover for the second
time that my passphrase was not exactly what I thought it was. I guess that's a
UX
bug at least.
Thank you for you time!
