Description

Shows secure PIN or passphrase prompts for tools such as GnuPG. Separate prompt programs help collect secrets without exposing them through the calling application's normal input flow.

Users see it when an application needs a passphrase for keys, signatures, encryption, or smart-card operations. It may provide graphical or terminal prompts depending on configuration.
