Title:
seahorse modal dialog prevents using other password management
applications
Status in Seahorse:
Confirmed
Status in “seahorse” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
When doing an action such as running debuild for package signing,
seahorse will pop-up a dialog to ask to unlock a GPG key if it has a
password (but is not yet recorded in seahorse for whatever reason).
seahorse uses a modal dialog for this request, which prevents the user
from using another password management application such as Keepass to
copy+paste the password into the dialog.
It is not clear that a simple modal dialog is actually providing any
enhanced security in this case (the dialog went unmodal on one
invocation for unclear reasons), and there is no way to disable this
functionality in seahorse itself.
