This kind of article is exactly what I expect to find on this platform: something which is supplementing documentation by adding some specific case studies (i.e. your last part about unavailability of secret key).

That being said, to come back to the subject, once the key has been created and the VSC editor settings have been properly configured, the recurring appearance of the Pinentry dialog window in order to type passphrase each time you are ready to commit something is particularly annoying (and it doesn't seem easy to define an convenient storage of this password currently).

Thank you for your comment (I didn't get notified about it, seems like this is a general issue on dev.to for new comments on old articles)! I'm totally with you here - though you get used to it at some point, it's nevertheless additional effort.

I see if I can find a convenient way to save this password on a trusted device. I will update the article accordingly if I found something.
