Hi guys!

Every time I run `org-gcal-sync` from org-gcal
([https://github.com/kidd/org-gcal.el](https://github.com/kidd/org-
gcal.el)), it asks me for the password again and again.

How to prevent this behavior?

Thanks.

I was having the same problem, and this setting worked for me:

    (setq epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption t)

If you're on linux, look into keychain.  It allows one to enter your
gpg passphrase once per reboot.  There is a keychain-refresh-
environment package for emacs to make sure emacs picks up the correct
environment variable.
