Thanks for quick reply i did the following command only to put passphrase in cache ( missed id while writing mail ) got id from gpg --list-secret-keys gpg-preset-passphrase -vcP "$pgpPassphrase" *00112233445566778898aabvccddeeff *
How can I confirm if a passphrase set in the cache ? is there any debug log which I can see to confirm it. Can you share .if possible, any steps how to build windows gpg agent using source code.? Most docs are for linux. details for question is here as well gnupg - windows :GPG is prompting for passphrase even though passphrase cache is set in gpg-agent - Super User <https://superuser.com/questions/1604539/windows-gpg-is-prompting-for-passphrase-even-though-passphrase-cache-is-set-in> Thanks surender On Mon, Nov 23, 2020 at 11:55 PM Werner Koch <w...@gnupg.org> wrote: > On Mon, 23 Nov 2020 09:18, surender singh pawar said: > > > 4. from powershell started agent > > > > "$gpgPath\bin\gpg-connect-agent.exe" reloadagent /bye > > Why do you do this?
