Password Manager: pass and passff plugin [SOLVED]

I've installed pass as my password manager. It work just fine.
I also found a plugin for pass in Firefox called passff (here)
It installed as advertised and it finds my password-store directory just fine but when I try to log to sites using the plugin I get the error:
"Please add your passphrase to gpg-agent".

It almost looks like passff is not talking to gpg.

If anyone has this working would you mind to share how you solved this problem?

You need to set the path to the gpg-agent info in the plugin preferences to .gnupg/S.gpg-agent . That's the default location for gpg-agent to store its info.

Firecat53,

Thanks for your reply.
Well ... that's interesting.
I do not have that file. Do I have to generate it?

Gpg-agent should put it there by default when it's running as long as you aren't using any options that change that.

Scott,

Thanks for your help.
I figured out what happened.
It seems that, way back, I was experimenting with gnupg and had created a custom set up ( I do not remember having done it, but there is was ) and the S.gpg-agent was in that directory.

After settings things to the more "standard" way of using gnupg everything is working.

Thanks again!!
