[SOLVED] let pass ask for password everytime it is used

I would like that pass asks for the password each time it is used. Not only the first time.
How could I do this?

Assuming you are talking about the sudo password, simply set the cache timeout to zero.

I'm talking about the application pass which uses gpg encrypted files.

pass does ask for a password every time, unless gpg-agent is running and intercepts the password request.

That solved my problem. XFCE auto loaded gpg-agent. Disabling this solved my problem.

Thanks!
