I hope that each time GPG is used for decryption, it requires entering the GPG password. Alternatively, it should be possible to set a time limit after entering the password for decryption, during which re-entering the decryption password is not required.

    Hi John,

    welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry that GPG Suite is causing problems for you.

    Please see this KB-article on how to manage passwords for your keys.

    Let me know if that results in the behavior you are looking for.

    Best,
    Steve
