How can anyone find cached > passphrases if caching is turned off? It seems this thread is about two different topics: - Using Pinentry - Using Emacs to send (and cache) a passphrase to gpg I have not seen the beginning of this thread, so I don't know much about the latter case. I am always thinking of using the gpg-agent - eventually gpg-agent will not only cache the passphrase but handle all secret keys. Thus this latter case will sooner or later be irrelevant as tehre won't be any way for Emacs to tell gpg (actually gpg2 or gpgsm) a passphrase. Shalom-Salam, Werner
