would love to have this, it's also really useful when docking the macbook and touchid is not available. @jorgelbg doesn't look active on this repo anymore though. Maybe we should publish a fork... |

Hi all, I noticed that there are people still looking for a solution to #4, and a while ago I wrote some arbitrary code to make it work. At that time, I downloaded the artifact from GitHub Actions CI to get a pre-built binary, but now it's expired. Considering the license and the lack of response from the author, I've created a Release here, which includes pre-built binaries and does not provide any warranty. You can follow the manual installation section from the readme file as instructions. |

This allows it to directly communicate with the GPG agent, receiving all the pinentry settings and messages. commit 54d4d0e1d91a9986eefc42192208a50957b9f701 Author: max. <[email protected]> Date: Fri May 23 17:26:26 2025 +0200 use local fork of go-touchid commit c36dbd41277d27568a60e712233ff39a1668fbdc Author: Weiyi Chen <[email protected]> Date: Sat Feb 10 07:32:20 2024 +0800 feat: update README commit 67118d7743eec27faac147ec14250d5b6181d4ff Author: Weiyi Chen <[email protected]> Date: Sat Feb 10 06:49:06 2024 +0800 fix: support password authentication
