Thank you for your bug report, that's similar to what is described on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792442
gnome-keyring is not acting as a gpg agent anymore, those settings still available but not used can be confused and it's a bug but the request to change the default behaviour is for gpg-agent so reassigning ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #792442 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792442 ** Package changed: gnome-keyring (Ubuntu) => gnupg2 (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gnupg2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1786607 Title: gnome-keyring caches PGP password eternally Status in gnupg2 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I've been using the program `Pass` to manage my passwords, which uses a PGP key that I created for this purpose. I began noticing that after my first use of the passphrase gnome-keyring would cache the passphrase and no longer request it. This is a security issue as anyone with access to my machine can gain access to all of my passwords. I assumed the settings could be tweaked, so I used `dconf-editor` to edit the `gpg-cache-method` file to use `timeout` instead of the default setting. I also changed the `gpg-cache-ttl` to 1 second from the default, which was 300 I believe. I then restarted the keyring with `$ gnome-keyring-daemon -r`. This successfully reset the keyring and I was prompted for my password. However, it only worked once. After entering the password, gnome-keyring cached my password and this survives logging out or restarting the computer.
