On my current emacs 29.1 describe-variable says for these:
auth-sources is a variable defined in ‘auth-source.el’.
Its value is ("~/.authinfo" "~/.authinfo.gpg" "~/.netrc")
epg-pinentry-mode is a variable defined in ‘epg-config.el’.
Its value is nil
Setting epg-pinentry-mode to be 'loopback' does not seem to
make any change here, it still asks for username and password.
As I said, I'm a bit lost here as to what I would need to change?
