gpg-agent.conf

pinentry-program /usr/local/MacGPG2/libexec/pinentry-mac.app/Contents/MacOS/pinentry-mac
enable-ssh-support
write-env-file
use-standard-socket
ignore-cache-for-signing
default-cache-ttl 0
max-cache-ttl 1
default-cache-ttl-ssh 0
max-cache-ttl-ssh 0

With the above config I expect to be prompted every time my key is accessed, however I am only prompted once and not again until i start a new session.

My environment:
gpg-agent (GnuPG/MacGPG2) 2.2.10
libgcrypt 1.8.3
GPG Suite 2018.5
macOS Mojave 10.14.4

   Hi Steve,

   this does sound very strange.
   Is this happening when you are signing/decrypting data or if you are using gpg for ssh login?
