How to use a terminal emulator as pinentry?

Hello guys,

I have set up dwm with dmenu and I am using pass for storing my passwords. To access them easily I use passmenu.
If I want to access the passwords first I must have entered the secret. I tried it with pinentry-qt, but it looks ugly to me.
Is it possible to make passmenu open a terminal emulator such as st when it needs the secret?

~./.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf

default-cache-ttl-ssh 60480000
max-cache-ttl-ssh 60480000
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry
allow-loopback-pinentry

Thanks,
carlo711

I kinda solved the problem by using pinentry-dmenu
