Enigmail does not store your password at all. The password handling is done by GnuPG (gpg-agent and pinentry). Unfortunately pinentry currently does not allow copy & paste of passwords. That's a decision by the GnuPG developers, not Enigmail. There is not much we from Enigmail can do to help you :-( - -Patrick -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJWYpTTAAoJENsRh7ndX2k7B7cP/1T3BBYTQbxTkSQOAFYt9+XF WKTZuIt9VtKQEiFpfOsdb/Lbonewl3ndkhzSCagZ/bztpqDCUQyDS2r6COT8sNAP KVwvl3fDhmJBOGv4SeNczlPeAHJEyC5ck0KqsLfr8UAZLCOFcqPfEkTX5VAwcEKF NaKfcl5ARYaEVPHbObpeGjZ3/Kns2FE1dv8Tr+XfO6X9BugVBSN5qNhrpKGOTtth /xUtkPK2S0UFG+tOkzqhLFdO3EZYSH120mcJ3fJ6sDbLMoUlR9Em6btLGeA0JtDw /VXzHSGOaJCVMkIntQQEvHvt+X/RPeLyPzuWgTWtqQPj+4LafzhuIftWeOT0maWd FfcxFBGlS/1FRE6yKUp8Dq+Qexg3in2LYqs5DFhzJZtTUUFC+Z7CZbpit9Eb/7J8 B/YziVWnuyD+BAGIaemGnGijdCgwgDkk9e144L839KBcmLQP7xEJuvlQEqCBOO8m +B4DZ/kYlEh+bc4767Ech/+Za8V7AMN9x4a61onaBthaKEnElTsFJjgM+mXGv5tb nR7VxEuCV+cGRDp6jTM3VRW5PmAYHb/Ksp8qkgILyE0Qkovdvv/3kbwPJfi9YMor mYi/5BdVa5Tj6xCu+zAf+NHnCPD2XEout7T/Oyb/YckKtuAimmasKU3YsKvyYSTi j/UDTDUV/x/ZrPCMVNgb =nEEY -----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
