PGP Passphrase Caching lost after Standby

  • 1.  PGP Passphrase Caching lost after Standby

    Hi,

    I use PGP Desktop 10.2 on my laptop and I'm often on travels. My issue is that the cached passphrase for my key seems to be lost after resuming from standby, even having activated "save my passphrase for the current session". Same happens if I use "save my password for 23hr:59mn:59 "

    Is this normal behaviour that the cached passphrased is lost when going into standby, even if I keep the same session on the laptop?

    This issue wouldn't be major if it was on it's own. It is amplified when using Outlook: when I go through my mails I get ask for the passphrase even if mails were not encrypted, I think it's due to some background search of Outlook that looks for mails of the same sender, and if that sender sent me an encrypted email in the past, then I get prompted to enter the passphrase.

    So in the end, and after each standby, I'm asked to re-enter the passphrase as soon as I go through my mails. This is a hasle when you are on the go.

    Any recommendation how to ease the situation would help!

    Thank you in advance,

    Tom
