There was something strange happening in emacs startup (two emacsen was started, and the one I didn't kill hadn't read all of .emacs). I have now started a fresh emacs and in this emacs saving sync data does not require a pinentry. And the reason pinentry is gone, is that this customized setting was loaded: '(gnus-cloud-storage-method (quote base64-gzip)) The setting is dated Sun Jul 24 16:57:04 2016 +0200 and was made because the default method EPG didn't work in Emacs 24.4 on windows (according to git blame). With emacs 26.3 EPG apparently works on widows, but has a very annoying pinentry dialog. I'll continue with base64-gzip.
