[OS X] Password input dialog suddenly stopped popping up

[maxkrieger]

System: OS X El Capitan v10.11.5

QtPass: 1.1.3, but was still broken in ~1.1.0 before updating

Problem: The gnupg password input dialog has stopped popping up lately, leaving qtpass grayed out. It pops up fine using pass in the cli. Here's my gpg-agent.conf:

pinentry-program /usr/local/MacGPG2/libexec/pinentry-mac.app/Contents/MacOS/pinentry-mac
default-cache-ttl 600
max-cache-ttl 7200

I am also experiencing this issue.

I have tried multiple times to reproduce this issue . .

I have no idea how the popup can be "blocked" from a Qt process and not in the CLI . .

running into this issue as well. things were working fine when i was on el capitan. i updated to sierra today, and now qtpass never prompts for my key password as @maxkrieger initially described. using pass 1.6.5, gpg (GnuPG/MacGPG2) 2.0.30, and qtpass 1.1.3. i was able to reproduce this issue by running the same setup on a fresh sierra install (on virtualbox). let me know if there's any additional info i can provide to help troubleshoot.

This might be related to the warning on https://gpgtools.org even though not directly.

Investigating..

Could you try changing the location of the gpg executable to: /usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/gpg2
It might be that the MacOS update changed which gpg2 executable is used.

[thekelvinliu]

that was already the path of gpg2 for me :(

I experience the same issue. Then I found out that I accidentally changed the "Program" to 'pass' instead of native gpg/git. And this probably brings another issue, that is the "pass" mode does not work (probably on OSX, I don't know other platforms).
