  • Tag set to “gpg-agent, passphrase-saving”

  I think this is related to gpg-agent. This process is - like ssh-agent - responsible for saving user passwords for the duration of their session.

  Adding no-use-agent to ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf doesn't seem to work.

  I recommend the workaround descibed in here:

  Add the following lines to ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf

  default-cache-ttl 10
  max-cache-ttl 10
  ignore-cache-for-signing
  

  Pasting the following into Terminal.app and pressing return has the same effect:

  echo -e "default-cache-ttl 10\nmax-cache-ttl 10\nignore-cache-for-signing" >> ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
  

  This will set the duration (in seconds) during which gpg-agent will save the passphrase. Also, the last line tells gpg-agent to always ask for a passphrase when signing other gpg-keys.

  You can find out more about these config lines with the command: man gpg-agent

  Please tell me if this fix works for you. (Maybe we should add this to the FAQ)

  This did not work. I changed the "10" to "2" because I wanted it shorter and I still get the same problem. Furthermore, I did not have a file "gpg-agent.conf".I thus created the file and pasted those fields in. Please advise, thanks!

  • Assigned user changed from “ronin-140089 (at lighthouseapp)” to “Alex (via GPGTools)”

  This is very strange. I just tried this approach again and everything works fine. (Using 0 for default- and max-cache-ttl)

  I just had to kill gpg-agent (killall gpg-agent) to make it re-read the configuration file.

  @alphaace can you confirm this? Also see http://www.gpgtools.org/gpgpreferences/index.html

  echo -e "default-cache-ttl 2\nmax-cache-ttl 2\nignore-cache-for-signing" >> ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf

  Worked for me.

  • State changed from “waiting” to “open”
  • Assigned user changed from “Alex (via GPGTools)” to “ronin-140089 (at lighthouseapp)”

  So should we add this line to gpg-agent?

  • State changed from “open” to “fixed”
  • Importance changed from “” to “”

  Please adjust the caching behavior in the GPGPreferences.

  Fixed.
