-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 When trying to create a user on the page sourceforge.net/user/registration I get the message "System Error [F37236]". Not even Google knows what that means, so now I'll try this mailing list instead.
Something changed with the recent release of Gpg4win 2.2.2 and its corresponding Enigmail 1.7.2. Perhaps it should get fixed in Enigmail or perhaps it should get fixed in Gpg4win. I'd like to hear your opinion! To reproduce: Use Windows Vista, 7 or 8. Install Mozilla Thunderbird. Add Enigmail. Run the Setup Wizard. Choose a strong password and use a password manager so you can copy and paste the password. Continue the setup, and when you are saving your revocation certificate, you are asked to retype your password. Try to paste in your password. It's impossible! You could do that in Gpg4win 2.2.1 and prior versions, but no more. You can copy and paste when you choose your say 50 character completely random password, but as soon as you need to use it, you need to type it manually. Doing so with a really strong password is EXTREMELY difficult and time consuming! So password managers can no longer be used. And as a consequence, users are forces to chose passwords that are weak enough that they can remember them and type they in manually. This weakens the protection provided by the password. What do you think? Is this a bug or has it for some reason been done deliberately? Can the issue be address in Enigmail or in Gpg4win? - -- Kind regards Anders www.PrivacyDefence.org Public key: www.privacydefence.org/?page_id=69 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUE0kqAAoJEKfAPQIYEF1i7j0P/1YEfuCkK03tK5YKW/mEX8u2 lqULddLxozkNFznzpD56Up2DsIU216e8NhIDJLpxD4M0i9IWJgAEWlc7R0J+fYXq Xy6x9zAx8sxQQL7OFTNGo0MrE9u3GBtdWIHRbpkuFOnNo8vABIJKpOPoXZQAdHap yA26BZLMWm+eHqGN461aPGOTBAJCGPK8lAp9aswW7f7+Pfn+QG120Yiytcs6Ehg8 5R6W70/Dn+3HIKEb9eP31EczydIP5PJms4cQM4VQ4ZQlosrbb75BptkwvCrUAoJu o0hQoLCZPyGpfOaqFZC+gcD+IwjNvc+IdvmIuj+8YexLphG4EII01okfoT/c5khz nS+BDFz0ZLtVvvdxzqkBljBUYP0gZqFFLQ/4uBcTyHJFL/NKhMSIqtvCoie1Qucc SXZLClpBARZ0ChsePKRe6Zq3tgLvGaQA+AeutAjb+7HWKSWMymwyD77GQz6dJ3sN 39sdj++dGi7gn+uFglsnadwoFz+Debw8z9YSbP83lDdKDzdeoH9Qmh5DlKXeHvJ0 jvn2WV5MV1Z0IxBgJ0YcxI5kCIYTOy60fNyh598/rxYGSGeUUigiBtUG4vB+UWvQ UcBr8N4NXq9RurDLmebd7TU467FpDPaYGuXqYBBKDLVxQZLN9vyLSw+QvCJ8sI6p N0wdeGZyFgKU2gxuRm7U =bo3D -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
