Well, the PGP password is cached for a long time. It can be for the entire session, which can last weeks. And on some desktops, it is only protected by the user password.
All that is configurable; back to RTFM. I have my passphrase cached for 600 seconds ONLY. That, as far as I can tell, is the default with gpg2. I'm not saying there aren't implementations which allow short paraphrases or have session as the default settings; but the GPG/GPG-agent way of using GP on Linux Desktop is more reasonable. The "Enigmail" plugin for Thunderbird on Linux makes use of GPG & GPG agent. I see you are using Thunderbird/38.1.0. and GnuPG v2.0.22 so if you have a session time-out on your passphrase you must have explicitly set that. Please do not talk about the way YOU have configured YOUR system as if they were universal constraints. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
