Hello. GNU PG version 2.* uses a program called “pinentry” to ask for passwords whenever it requires a password. There are several such pinentry programs. You can install several of them but you just need one. If you use GNU/Linux, search for “pinentry” in the listing of package in your package manager. There will be several such programs. The only user-visible difference (as far as I know) is the way in which they ask for password and the look and feel. If you want a graphical window to ask you for password, install “pinentry-gtk2”, “pinentry-gnome” or “pinentry-qt”. If you want to be asked within the terminal emulator, install “pinentry-curses” or “pinentry-tty”. I have never used “GPG Tools” so I can not provide any help in this regard.
