This package allows PHP command line applications to prompt users for a passphrase / pin using the gpgtools `pinentry` program.

[https://www.gnupg.org/related\_software/pinentry/index.html](https://www.gnupg.org/related_software/pinentry/index.html)

The PinRequest class allows passphrase requests to be parameterized (messages, titles, button text), or to request a confirmation password also.
