Neither Enigmail or GPA allow to use a password manager.

So I just installed Enigmail on IceDove and created a Private and Public key.
The problem is that neither Enigmail not GPA allow me to use a password manager. I can't copy and paste the password either.
This means I have to type the password every time, but I would like to use a secure password, with random numbers, simbols and letters.
And frankly typing it every time is gonna be a pain. So does anyone know what can I do?
The password is asked by Pinentry in both Enigmail and GPA:

I understand.
Is just that in my work's computer with ubuntu 15.10 I was able to use the password manager. I was hoping it had something to do with the version. But now I think is a bug of ubuntu 15.10 instead.

You could try keepassx (sudo apt-get install keepassx).
You can add a configuration in the comments section and set it to auto-type for you. For websites with a login auto type of login can also be configured. In your case, since you only need to input the password you would type:
Auto-Type: {PASSWORD}
When asked for your password you place keepassx on the forefront, and click on "perform auto type" from the context menu when right clicking on the correct entry.
Hope this helps.
