Feb 4, 2017 at 10:13 comment added gimmesudo Use echo "KEYINFO --no-ask <key-id> Err Pmt Des" | gpg-connect-agent with the key-id you get from gpg --fingerprint --with-keygrip <email>
Sep 19, 2016 at 16:53 comment added Otheus Could 2.0.14 be bugged? Using the technique above, gpg-agent does indeed have the desired passphrase for the specified key (identified by the keygrip), but when I attempt to sign with that keygrip, I am nonetheless prompted for a password. Why?
May 4, 2016 at 16:22 comment added Matei David Using gpg-2.1.11 compiled from source on Ubuntu 14.04, I cannot figure out what the gpg-agent cache id is: I tried both keygrips (main key and subkey) and the key fingerprint, as shown by gpg --fingerprint --with-keygrip <user>. None of them works, and gpg-connect-agent always reports ERR 67108922 No data <GPG Agent>. I double checked the agent still has the passphrase by successfully running GPG_TTY= gpg --decrypt <file> after trying out various cache ids. (In case it's unclear, by unsetting GPG_TTY, decryption succeeds only if the passphrase is already cached by gpg-agent.)

Feb 8, 2014 at 18:18 comment added neirbowj gpg-agent invokes whatever flavor of the pinentry program it is configured to use. See for example How to force GPG to use console mode pinentry....
