The Pin entry dialog box keeps popping up. It’s annoying. This happened with the latest upgrade. I don’t have time to troubleshoot it.

   Hi Tom,

   welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.

   Maybe storing the password for your OpenPGP key in macOS keychain is an option? Please see this KB-article on how to manage passwords for your keys.

   Also we noticed, you do not have GPG Keychain installed on your mac, which is the key manager for your OpenPGP keys. Is that intentionally? You can get GPG Keychain back, by simply re-installing GPG Suite from our homepage.

   Best,
   steve
