NAME¶

pinentry-wayprompt - Wayland-native pinentry implementation

SYNOPSIS¶

DESCRIPTION¶

The pinentry-wayprompt executable described in this manual page represents the pinentry implementation based on wayprompt. For general information on wayprompt, read wayprompt(1).

USE WITH GPG¶

To use pinentry-wayprompt as the passwort prompt for gpg(1) you need to configure gpg-agent(1). For example by creating the file ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf and writing into it the following line:

pinentry-program /path/to/pinentry-wayprompt

Note that the path to the pinentry-wayprompt executable depends on how you installed it and/or how it was packaged. Also note that you need to restart the gpg-agent for any configuration to take effect.

IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETENESS¶

As of writing, pinentry-wayprompt implements the most important components of the pinentry protocol to be viable for day-to-day usage. However more advanced features are not yet supported. Patches are welcome.
