How do I get password requests to appear in the console rather than as a popup in KDE in Fedora 34?

Previously, in Fedora 33, KDE spin, when I typed git clone, or gpg --import secret.asc, my password would be requested in the terminal where I typed the request, but now a popup appears named W that asks for the password. This is not a behavior that I desire. In other environments, I have been able to install pinentry-tty or pinentry-curses for gpg, but I’ve not experienced the same issue with git, so I’d appreciate your help. I don’t want a popup for password entry… ever, really.

This doesn’t seem like a difficult question - anyone have a clue?

Sometimes difficulty is a result of missing information!

It is irritating me that the Window is named W … if it is that what i thought it should appear soothing like Seahorse in the window title bar.

Something like Gnome Keyring comes to mind.

However, this should not have a W in the tittle.

This might explains the W as windows title
