Why is GPG Not Asking for Password to Decrypt? Explained!
Why is GPG Not Asking for Password to Decrypt?
If GPG (GnuPG) stops asking for a password to decrypt, it could be due to several reasons:
- 1. GPG Agent: GPG Agent may have cached your password, allowing decryption without re-entering the password.
- 2. Keychain Access: Your operating system's keychain might be storing your GPG key passphrase.
- 3. Remember Password Option: You might have selected an option to remember your password during decryption.
To enhance security, consider disabling cached passwords or keychain access for GPG keys to ensure that a password is always required for decryption. Regularly updating your passwords and configuring GPG settings can also help maintain a secure encryption process.
