Password not saved to Keychain

[caraar12345]

Describe the bug

pinentry-touchid doesn't save the password into the Keychain.

As a result, I get the password/confirm password popup every time I use my GPG key which is really quite annoying 😅

Logs

gpg-agent:

It would be very useful for us if you could enable the basic debug info for your gpg-agent and attach the generated log. Add the following to your ~/.gpg-agent.conf:

debug-level basic
log-file /Users/<USERNAME>/.gnupg/gpg-agent.log

Reload gpg-agent with the following command:

$ gpg-connect-agent reloadagent /bye

Add/attach the relevant section of the log to this issue (feel free to redact your key IDs).

gpg-agent.log

pinentry-touchid:

pinentry-touchid also generates its own log which you can find in $TMPDIR/pinentry-touchid.log.

Same issue here, I now have to enter the pin twice everytime as the pinentry-touchid UI has a confirmation line -.-

If you're still having this issue, try also setting
