It seems impossible to save *user* alone. You can do it, just not automatically at the prompt. So let it save, then edit the file and remove what you don't want.

See the EPA manual (info "epa") and the auth-source manual (info "auth") for more information. Basically the .gpg extension will tell EPA to encrypt the file. But you can always switch to a file name without the .gpg extension and suffer no encryption. Ted
