There is an option named default-cache-ttl that controls how long the agent will remember the password to the private key. However, when I put it in the config file it doesn't work - instead, gpg complains:



gpg: /home/jan/.gnupg/gpg.conf:8: invalid option


My version of GPG is



$ gpg2 --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.1.11





gpg gpg-agent

          Wrong config file. This option concerns gpg-agent only, and (somewhat surprisingly) it has a separate configuration file - .gnupg/gpg-agent.conf. Put the option there and it works (configuration for GPG 2.1, earlier versions use different option names):



          $ cat .gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
          # remember the password longer (1 hour since last usage, 5 hours max)
          default-cache-ttl 3600
          max-cache-ttl 18000
