Bad Passphrase (try 2 of 3)
This implies to me that there are a maximum of 3 attempts to log in, after which there is a penalty incurred. I have searched high and low and cannot find what the penalty is for too many attempts.
I have searched the QtPass source code for the error message, and did not find it. So it appears that the message is posted by another piece of the system. The dialog box frame title has what appears to be a PID in it, for example
[2052363]@linux8core
That happens to be the PID of gpg2, so I am assuming that gpg2 is posting the dialog.
- Code: Select all
[brian@linux8core ~/.gnupg]$ ps -alx | grep 2052363
0 1001 2052363 2052362 20 0 190888 6944 - SL ? 0:00 gpg2 -d --quiet --yes --compress-algo=none --no-encrypt-to --batch --use-agent /home/brian/.password-store//amazon.com.gpg
I would like to find out what the penalty is, and if so is it configurable.
There is no gpg.conf on my system that I can find.
It is curious that every time I try this I get "(try 2 of 3)", so if the penalty is a timeout, it is fairly short.
Any pointers to where I can find out how this works would be much appreciated.
