Hello,
I'm currently using Xfce4,  and found this extension wasn't asking for my
passphrase at all, thus my passwords were not available, unless decrypted first
from the terminal (pinentry-ncurses I presume?)

I tried several things but the thing that worked was:
Install pinentry-qt
created ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
added the following line to ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf: pinentry-program
/usr/bin/pinentry-qt
restarted gpg-agent with: gpg-connect-agent reloadagent /bye

The result was a dialog/application asking for the passphrase.  And the
extension working correctly after typing the correct passphrase.


Is it possible to investigate why the same can't be accomplished for both
pinentry-gnome3 and pinentry-gtk2, since I'm using Xfce4 and not LxQT or
Plasma?  Not to mention pinentry-qt is not even a dependency for this web
extension.
Is having to create gpg-agent.conf expected behavior?  if it is, can we have
documentation on this?




Sorry if this is not a bug related to this package.
Thanks.

Hello,

pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry  works again in Bookworm,  I don't
have to install pinentry-qt anymore.

Bug resolved.
