You can use the agent for inquiry and /caching/ of your passphrases, but
not for /storage/. The difference is in the lifetime: once gpg-agent
exits, any cached passphrases are forgotten. It can't be used as a
general passphrase store, unfortunately.

As for something completely different, you could use an encrypted
partition to store the credentials... It's just a thought.

HTH,

Peter.
