In (info "(auth)Help for Users") it says that the unencrypted file is sought first: If you don't customize 'auth-sources', you'll have to live with the defaults: the unencrypted netrc file '~/.authinfo' will be used for any host and any port. If that fails, any host and any port are looked up in the netrc file '~/.authinfo.gpg', which is a GnuPG encrypted file (*note GnuPG and EasyPG Assistant Configuration::). But in (info "(auth)GnuPG and EasyPG Assistant Configuration") it says it says that the encrypted file is sought first: If you don't customize 'auth-sources', the auth-source library reads '~/.authinfo.gpg', which is a GnuPG encrypted file. Then it will check '~/.authinfo' but it's not recommended to use such an unencrypted file.
