Hi,
I'm not sure why, but there is a password length limit on 1.x version
(even in the latest release), not sure why ?
An example situation:
--gen-key
<..set everything.. including any length password..>
For testing I got password which is longer than 1024 chars. Now when
trying to encrypt something I have to enter my password from secret key,
so I put it into curses dialog window and afterwards I get this:
pinentry-curses: Assuan processing failed: write error
gpg-agent[25237]: command get_passphrase failed: Too much data for IPC layer
gpg: problem with the agent: Too much data for IPC layer
Can't edit this key: General error
why ? So such long key is useless and impossible to change password,
because current password is too long.
Any solutions/workarounds?
Thanks,
