AnyPinentry

AnyPinentry is a wrapping interface to all kinds of prompts instead of gnupg's pinentry. You can now use any interface for password and confirmation prompts (dmenu, rofi, read, systemd-ask-password, curses, etc).

Note: This is NOT a complete replacement for pinentry programs but it should cover most use-cases. Report any issues you face so the program can be improved

Dependencies

• sh
• dmenu with password patch (optional: for the default config only)
• notify-send (optional: for the default config only)

Usage

1. Clone the repo to anywhere on your machine (you should maintain a fork in case you want to configure the default behavior)
2. Run chmod +x ./anypinentry inside the cloned directory
3. Edit the script file if you want to configure it.
4. Edit ~/.gnuph/gpg-agent.conf (or create it) and add the line pinentry-program /<path-to-your-clone>/anypinentry
5. Run gpg-agent reload to reload the config or logout and log back in
6. Gpg should now be using your prefered program for pinentry

Config

The following variables inside ./anypinentry script file can be configured. You will need to use AP_PROMPT, AP_YES, AP_NO, AP_ERROR variables inside your actions.

• prompt_action - Action to show a prompt asking for password (Example using dmenu with password patch - dmenu -P -p "$AP_PROMPT")
• confirm_action - Action to confirm something (YES or NO) (Example with dmenu - printf "%s\n%s" "$AP_YES" "$AP_NO" | dmenu -p "$AP_PROMPT")
• display_error_action - Action to display error messages to user (Example with notify-send - notify-send "$AP_ERROR")
