Variants are typically used to enable optional features; pinentry support thus seems like a natural fit for a variant. What is the implication of having lastpass-cli built with pinentry support? I'm not really clear on what pinentry is.

My fault - I was under the impression we didn’t want to use variants anymore.  I’ll correct shortly.  pinentry is gnupg’s way to enter pin/password via dialogs.
