I tried touch .pine-passfile and now it offers to save the pwd on disk,

Enter password of key <MasterPassword> to unlock password file

I suppose it is the same master password for email as for news. I just
enter that master password, for email, just once.

I never used a master password. Neither in alpine nor in my browser (were I have lots of password stored)

Well, but the way that Alpine is designed to not ask for the email or news password, is to have a Master password. That's the way it works. You enter the Master password once, when you start Alpine.
