I am using

Code:

gsettings set org.gnome.crypto.cache gpg-cache-method 'timeout'
gsettings set org.gnome.crypto.cache gpg-cache-ttl 34560000
gpg-agent --max-cache-ttl 34560000
gnome-keyring-daemon -r

and it doesn't work, i.e., after roughly 5 minutes, I still get prompted to enter the passphrase.

Am I doing it wrong, or this is a buggy behavior? Is there a workaround for this?

Here is some background if it's relevant. I use pinentry-gnome3, and my .authinfo.gpg (created originally for Emacs) holds a password that gets fed to isync/mbsync. mbsync needs to run periodically and relies on the password for authentication.

Many thanks.
