            Bug ID: 304829
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: 4.9.0
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Make the password dialog for the private key more
                    readable
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: regi.hops at gmx.net
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: crypto
           Product: kmail2

The password dialog (titled pinentry-qt) for the private key (PGP and S/MIME)
displays the information of the chosen certificate in a more or less raw
format.
This format would be OK for users who are familiar with certificates.
But having more than one certificate it is difficult to directly notice the
relevant information.
And for people who are not familiar with certificates the displayed information
are very "uncomfortable".


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. send an encrypted or signed email with a password protected private key
2. have a look at the password dialog

Actual Results:  
the raw subject and some additional information like validity are displayed in
a floating text format

Expected Results:  
show a dialog with the most important information on separate lines, like:
- Common Name (CN)
- Email-Address (EMAIL)
- Optionally additional Email-Addresses (SubjectAltName)
- Valid until (in localized format?) or an icon showing the validity status
- A link to the raw certificate information would be also nice


Alternatively there could be also a dialog showing the "expected result
information" of the certificate, before the password dialog opens up.
This could be also useful to choose a certificate, if there are two or more
possible certificates for the requested action.
