You can try dropping to GnuPG 1.x and caching a symmetric encryption key. See `epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption'. It's not great but works much better over SSH to remote hosts if you accept the risk of storing the passphrase in Emacs' memory. In my work, it's indispensable. Documentation: "If non-nil, cache passphrase for symmetric encryption. For security reasons, this option is turned off by default and not recommended to use. Instead, consider using gpg-agent which does the same job in a safer way. See Info node `(epa) Caching Passphrases' for more information. Note that this option has no effect if you use GnuPG 2.0." Ted
