This is so annoying and unnecessary. I'm not even using GPG for anything in Docker Desktop. If I don't provide it, then pulling and some other stuff breaks nonsensically.
This is so annoying and needs a solution.
Is it docker desktop logging into docker-hub?
Is the fix in docker hub or in docker desktop?
I second that. It's really annoying. I'm only using open pgp for docker desktop on Arch and it pops up randomly. It's not even whilst I am developing anything. Watching a movie in bed at night and I get pop ups asking for my open pgp password. Absolutely ridiculous. I've used pgp keys with Github before and it's never done anything like it's doing with docker desktop.
@speightashley I had the same problem. Since my Docker Desktop usage is quite basic - view logs, start/destroy containers and volumes, I can do all of that from my IDE (GoLand), so I ended up with just using plain Docker Engine, not Docker Desktop.
I'm having this issue too and it's very annoying. I'm considering uninstalling docker desktop for Linux. Is there a solution or workaround?
one year later, what's up?
As a solution, perhaps one could just save the pass to seahorse "save in password manager"?
This will store the passphrase to the pgp key in pass/seahorse by reference to the keygrip that can be easily retrieved $ gpg --list-secret-keys --with-keygrip
Still a problem on latest. This is ridiculously annoying, I get pop-ups roughly every 40 minutes or so. I avoid signing in to docker desktop where possible because of this mess.
Add it to your keyring (should be a box to tick next time it comes up) haven't had it pop up since

Is this popup part of the docker desktop app? If so, is it a new feature that's been added?
Edit: oh, in the issue description the screenshot does have a checkbox, but it does not work. Maybe it's been fixed (?)
This is probably not a fix as it consists in removing a security challenge and that's never the right solution, but you can remove the passphrase for the pgp key.
Simply execute gpg2 --change-passphrase <key-id>, enter the current passphrase and when prompted to enter a new one, just hit OK (or press Enter). You might get a warning saying this is not a good idea: take a deep breath and confirm.
If you used this PGP key for something else, I'd strongly advise against doing this. Otherwise, if the key was created solely for the purpose of entering a passphrase every 40 minutes, I'd consider taking the risk and offering yourself some peace.
I removed the secret-key at the end.
$ gpg --list-secret-keys
/home/user/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
sec rsa3072 DATE [SC] [expires: DATE] XYZ uid [ultimate] User [email protected] ssb rsa3072 DATE [E] [expires: DATE]
$ gpg --delete-secret-keys XYZ
and there is no longer prompt anymore. It may not be the ideal choice however it was too annoying.
