I do not know if the instructions below will solve your problem,
however it is what I use.

In your $HOME/.screenrc include this:
shell "${SHELL}"

The exported variable "${SHELL}" should expand to '/usr/bin/bash'. If
not, you will need to edit your '/etc/passwd' (the line related to
your user account should contain '/usr/bin/bash' - complete path - as
the shell - the seventh field).

At this point, there are two situations related to the password agent:

Situation one: your password agent is the 'ssh-agent'.

Situation two: your password agent is the 'gpg-agent'.

I use the 'gpg-agent' as my password agent. In this fashion, you will
need to include the following in you $HOME/.bashrc:
export GPG_TTY=3D$(tty)

From now on, there are some configurations, but they are related to
the GnuPG, not the GNU Screen.
