If I understand correctly, the agent is getting in your way. Killing the agent /might/ be your answer: gpgconf --kill gpg-agent I think your private key has a pass phrase, but the agent is providing the answer without you needing to and that gives you the impression that it isn't protected. If it isn't gpg's agent that is getting in your way, it might be the gnome keyring daemon instead. /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon Seahorse /may/ be useful too. /usr/bin/seahorse If you kill all agents to stop them interfering, then use the - --homedir option of gpg with a copy of your files, I think you will have what you need.
