Description

GnuPG passphrases and PINs can be requested through the current pinentry dialog collection. This Git build is useful for users and administrators who need recent dialog helpers for graphical, terminal, or desktop-specific GPG prompts. It is normally called by gpg-agent through pinentry commands rather than opened directly. These dialogs handle secrets, so package trust, focus behavior, and remote session exposure are important.
