Description Andrej Kacian 2016-07-12 07:44:18 UTC 
When generating new PGP key pair from within Claws Mail (e.g. "Generate new keypair" button in account preferences), the application asks for a passphrase twice, but this passphrase is then ignored by gpg2, which displays its own passphrase dialog, using pinentry.

This works fine when gpg 1.x (1.4.20 in my case) is forced on Claws Mail.

    When generating a PGP keypair, only ask for passphrase with gpg1.
    
    Also erase all copies of an entered passphrase from memory
    when done. Closes bug #3658.
