Can't help you with that, sorry.

I believe the initial target audience was Gnome Keyring and possibly the MacGPG
project, but primarily to solve the issues with Gnome Keyring. But it is a
general feature.

The intended use case, AFAIK, is to have the external password manager store the
password for your OpenPGP key(s). That way, it can unlock your key when you log
in (and provide your login password). Without it, you would have to enter a
password twice each session: once to log in, once to unlock your OpenPGP key.

That's all I know. HTH,

Peter.
