Documentation

Overview

Package agent contains a long running background process to aide gopass in caching credentials. Since gopass is a one-off application it can not store much state in memory. It's lost once gopass quits. However certain operations require frequently entering credentials, like passphrases for custom crypto backend or encrypted config stores. This package implements an agent, similar to the GPG or SSH agents, that can ask for and cache credentials.
