Actual behaviour

There is no dialog opening up to ask for my gnupg password.
Pass itself works slowly and is opening the password dialog after a while in the console.
No dialog shows up

PassFF requires a GUI pinentry, not a console pinentry.
Configure gpg2 accordingly: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#pinentry

I don't know why pass itself works slowly...does it try to run various pinentry programs before falling back to a console pinentry? I don't know.
I guess gpg2 is working slowing under the hood.

Solved the issue! don't know why that line was missing. Maybe a package update.

Nice :)

By default, gpg-agent uses /usr/bin/pinentry which is usually a symlink to a pinentry program.
Your symlink may be pointing to an incompatible pinentry program.

A package update shouldn't modify a custom configuration. That's what *.pacnew are for ;)
