**Important** Any pinentry program except `pinentry-tty` or `pinentry-curses` may be used. This is because local `gpg-agent` may start headlessly (By systemd without `$GPG_TTY` set locally telling which tty it is on), thus failed to obtain the pin. Errors on the remote may be misleading saying that there is *IO Error* (Yes internally there is actually *IO Error* since it happens when writing to/reading from tty while finding no tty to use, but for end users this is not friendly).
