--- Comment #23 from Rolf Eike Beer <k...@opensource.sf-tec.de> --- I _think_ this is going on: KGpg runs gpg. Gpg starts a pinentry to ask for the passphrase (gcr in your case). That offers to store the password in a keyring (the gnome one I think). That's why the KGpg documentation says nothing about it: it's a totally different program that has is only a helper for gpg, so "far away" in the dependency chain. KGpg does not store passwords, and GnuPG does not encrypt it's keyrings (only the private keys with the key password). The mixup if it is called password or passphrase is either in gcr or in KDE frameworks, I suspect the former. What you can try: replace gcr with pinentry-qt5 (no idea how that package is called on your distro). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
