Is that a second UI prompt though for a passphrase? My friend's main
concern is that multiple password/phrase prompts from multiple UIs is
pretty gross and they should all be the same UI, potentially a single
prompt.
Yes, just the same kind of UI prompts for SSH and GPG keys.
I have several SSH keys I load into ssh-agent at first login and thus
get several UI input popups initiated by keychain. As well the keyring
request for my wireless WPA key. Can't think of a way a single
application would reduce the onetime amount of passphrase requests.
