<p>welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.</p>
<p>the pinentry requests you are seeing are happening due to the migration from MacGPG 2.0.x to 2.2.0.</p>
<p>Please read the following KB-article in it's entirety:<br>
<a href="https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/faq/i-updated-to-gpg-suite-20171-">https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/faq/i-updated-to-gpg-suite-20171-</a>...</p>
<p>and let me know if that brings you back to the expected state.</p>
<p>Best,<br>

<p>thank you for your quick reply.</p>
<p>If you are referring to</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/faq/i-updated-to-gpg-suite-20171-and-now-pinentry-keeps-asking-for-my-password">https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/faq/i-updated-to-gpg-suite-20171-...</a></li>
</ul>
<p>then that unfortunately did not help solve my problem.</p>
<p>As you can see in the attached screenshot, there's no option "store in keychain" in the dialog that asks for my passphrase. However, there's an option "store in MacOS keychain" in the GPGSuite preferences pane. This option is selected.</p>
<p>I have</p>
<ul>
<li>deleted the entry from MacOS keychain that I found when searching for gnupg</li>
<li>entered my password probably 50 times</li>
</ul>
<p>but it still keeps asking for my passphrase.</p>
<p>On a related noted, I am glad to hear you are considering asking for money for the software you build. I am happy to pay for it, and support the efforts you put into the product!</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p>Andreas</p></div>localheinztag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/435611502017-09-27T09:36:53Z2017-09-27T09:36:53ZGPGServices: Pinentry Mac keeps asking for passphrase<div><p>Should you be available, could you hop on our live chat here:<br>

<p>User had the following option in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf<br>
ignore-cache-for-signing</p>
<p>Solution was to remove "ignore-cache-for-signing" line from gpg-agent.conf</p>
<p>After that everything was working as expected.</p>
<p>I'm closing this discussion. Should you need further assistance or have questions you can re-open this discussion here or open a new one any time.</p>
<p>Best, steve</p></div>Steve
