  • [gentoo-user] Confusion about gpg-preset-passphrase

    From efeizbudak@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 3 13:40:01 2023
    Hi all,

    So I'm trying to use gpg-preset-passphrase but for some reason I keep
    having to enter the passphrase all the same. I run

    /usr/libexec/gpg-preset-passphrase --preset $KEYGRIP

    and then paste the passphrase (I've also tried this with the keygrip for
    the [E] subkey as opposed to the [SC]). But then when I try to decrypt
    a file encrypted for this key I still face pinentry. I also tried
    running the decryption command with the

    --pinentry loopback --batch

    which just fails with

    gpg: Sorry, we are in batchmode - can't get input

    And I already have in my gpg-agent.conf the following:

    allow-preset-passphrase
    max-cache-ttl 2147483647

    Am I misunderstanding something here? Can someone please point me in the
    right direction?

    Thank you!

    To anyone who sees this, it was caused by my stupidity to use a very
    illegal password. Please do not bother.
