I rebooted and it prompted me to enter my passphrase again. It seems that GPG is rejecting my correct keyphrase and that after I try too many times, the above is what transpires without prompting for a key again until reboot.

Hmm.. this seems like a gpg-agent issue. AutoCanary isn't actually prompting for your key, it's just running gpg2 in the background, which in turn uses gpg-agent to ask for your passphrase (or cache it).

Can you use gpg with other things, like email?

[selfagency]

Yeah I figured out this is GPG's fault or mine. I have no recollection of doing so but I must have changed my key because GPG is rejecting it. Kind of driving me crazy. Sorry for wasting your time — though it would be nice if AutoCanary failed a little more gracefully and let me know my keyphrase is being rejected.
