Hmm, I haven't heard from Daiki Ueno, and he knows EPA/EPG best. So I'd like his opinion. Maybe he agrees the UI is complicated and is planning something already. As far as auth-source is concerned, it could have backend initialization functionality that, when a backend (e.g. a .gpg file) doesn't exist, will run specific functions, including creating a .gpg file with symmetric encryption. But right now it simply lets EPA handle everything. Ted
