  • 1.  Repetitive prompts for PGP Passphrase

    At inital boot of OS X Leopard 10.6.8 and multiple times throughout the day, a pop-up appears asking to "Enter the passphrase for the key shown above".  Whether the correct passphrase is entered or not (or if cancel is pressed), the prompt will go away after 2 attempts. It will then return quite a bit later.  This isn't preventing anything, but it is annoying.  The only way I have been able to solve this is to re-enroll the user with PGP and hope that we get lucky and not get prompted for the passphrase anymore (which usually works after a few tries, but is annoying to deal with).  Screenshot attached (with the top portion removed to clear out the user's email).

    Does not matter.  It will still pop up a second time and then come back a few hours or a reboot later.

    There were a few PGP password items in the Mac Keychain... so for the hell of it, we deleted them and it seems to have solved the problem.
