Somebody can make your settings such that you do not need to enter passphrase, it would be kept in the file or provided as a string on command line. --passphrase-file file Read the passphrase from file file. Only the first line will be read from file file. This can only be used if only one passphrase is supplied. Obviously, a passphrase stored in a file is of questionable security if other users can read this file. Don't use this option if you can avoid it. Note that since Version 2.0 this passphrase is only used if the option --batch has also been given. Since Version 2.1 the --pinentry-mode also needs to be set to loopback. --passphrase string Use string as the passphrase. This can only be used if only one passphrase is supplied. Obviously, this is of very question‐ able security on a multi-user system. Don't use this option if you can avoid it. Note that since Version 2.0 this passphrase is only used if the option --batch has also been given. Since Version 2.1 the --pinentry-mode also needs to be set to loopback.
