Hi,

to be able to upgrade to macOS High Sierra I‘ve updatet GPG Tools to the latest beta. After that I was asked for my password on every Mail when signing an eMail in Apple Mail. Unfortunately the password I have stored in 1Password and I am pretty sure is the right one does not work.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks & cheers from Berlin

Stephan

   Hi Stephan,

   the pinentry requests you are seeing are happening due to the migration from MacGPG 2.0.x to 2.2.0.

   Please read the following KB-article in it's entirety:
   https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/faq/i-updated-to-gpg-suite-20171-...

   and let me know if that brings you back to the expected state.

   All the best,
   steve
