### "Wait? The script asks for my passwords?"
## The autosync
Look at the code. The script takes the passwords you give it, encrypts them immediately with your own GPG key, and shreds the leftovers. Nothing malicious; it's all there! If it makes you comfortable you can even run the script offline at first.
If you activate the autosync at a significantly infrequent interval, by
default, your system might prompt you for your GPG password every time. To
prevent this, you can change the time a GPG unlock lasts by adding a time in
seconds as below into `~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf`:
```
default-cache-ttl <number-of-seconds>
max-cache-ttl <number-of-seconds>
```
You can also use [pam-gnupg](https://github.com/cruegge/pam-gnupg) if you want
to just log into your keyring immediately on log in. This is what I do, but
it's less secure if you leave you computer logged on.
## You can help!
