pass with gpg-agent?

[spectromas]

I don't know if I should be using keychain for this (I did try but got completely confused and gave up).

I use app-admin/pass and I would like to not have to enter my password every time I access a password. According to the pass documentation you can set gpg-agent to cache the master password but I don't seem to have any luck with that, pass is still asking me every time.

In ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf I have:
use-agent

In ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf I have:
default-cache-ttl 10000

In ~/.xinitrc I have:
eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)"

if [ -f "${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info" ]; then
  . "${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info"
  export GPG_AGENT_INFO
  export SSH_AUTH_SOCK
fi

In ~/.zshrc I have:
GPG_TTY=$(tty)
export GPG_TTY

I don't really know what I'm doing here though and something obviously isn't working because pass is asking every time for the password.

Hi spectromas, did you figure out how to do it?

Yeah I did in the end. Not sure exactly what made it work but this is what I currently have:

 

in my ~/.zprofile:

envfile="$HOME/.gnupg/gpg-agent.env"
if [[ -e "$envfile" ]] && kill -0 $(grep GPG_AGENT_INFO "$envfile" | cut -d: -f 2) 2>/dev/null; then
    eval "$(cat "$envfile")"
else
    eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon --enable-ssh-support --write-env-file "$envfile")"
fi
export GPG_AGENT_INFO  # the env file does not contain the export statement
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK   # enable gpg-agent for ssh

GPG_TTY=$(tty)
export GPG_TTY

In ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf I have:

use-agent

And eselect pinentry set to

pinentry-qt

I'm using this with PassFF addon for firefox so whenever it fills login forms when I want it to and doesn't ask me every time for the master password for a set amount of time.

Hi spectromas, did you figure out how to do it?

I'm using bash (and pinentry-gtk) so I can't test your zprofile but I start gpg-agent like in my .xinitrc file:
 

gpg-agent --daemon &
if [ -n "${GPG_AGENT_INFO}" ]; then
  kill $(echo ${GPG_AGENT_INFO} | cut -d':' -f 2) >/dev/null 2>&1
  fi

It has to be something else because I made a mistake into ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf and it stopped working, so the system can read the config.

I totally forget to update this topic.

 

 

I have to specify my key to .bash_profile:

GPGKEY=XXXXXXXX

And start gpg-agent. I'm using startx so I add it to my .xinitrc:

eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)"
