If you want to unlock on log-in, just have your gpg key unlocked by your login password. Gnome keychain is capable of this. Your request is a definite possibility.
I prefer having the key + passphrase over just a passphrase. It makes it more difficult for the information to leak.
That said, if you'd like a pass with a gpg -c mode, it shouldn't be hard to add. I could do this, or you could send a nice git formatted patch. Let me know.
- acabal 14y agoAnything is possible... but a program has to make it easy for us, i.e. anticipate potentially popular use-cases and cater to them. Otherwise non-techies will ignore the program and techies will roll our own simple solution instead of taking the time to explore and customize someone else's--just like I already have :) (Although as a CLI program I suppose the argument could be made that non-techies will ignore it on principle anyway...)
- zx2c4 14y agoSorry, I should have written more clearly: the functionality you want -- gpg unlocked by login password -- is already available, implemented, and easy to use. Look around on your distribution. It exists.
