AFAIS, only Emacs/Gnus use ~/.authinfo.gpg (by default). tramp and org-jira do. if i use one of them first thing in a fresh emacs, i'm prompted to decrypt ~/.authinfo.gpg. and i recently wrote a mathematica shell script that had to access an internal web server with authentication, so i wrote a little authinfo parser for it to avoid storing my password in the code. cheers - bw bill white .
