Assunto: [Tails-dev] Please review "Use KeepassX to type a password intro Pinentry"
Several users complained about the fact that the new `pinentry` dialog
box that appears when being asked for a GnuPG password do not accept
copy and paste.

Actually that's a security feature of pinentry, see
/todo/pinentry_vs._paste.

I added a section to the KeepassX documentation to document how to use
the AutoType feature as a workaround:

I'm waiting for a review before making the ticket as done.
