This is pretty much all that is required. However one might also want to modify
the default timeout which tells the backend for how long the user's approval
for key access should be valid (default 5 minutes). This is adjustable via
`QUBES_GPG_AUTOACCEPT` variable. One can override it e.g. in `~/.bash_profile`:

However, you might want to modify the default timeout: this tells the backend for how long the user's approval for key access should be valid.
(The default is 5 minutes.)
You can change this via the `QUBES_GPG_AUTOACCEPT` variable.
You can override it e.g. in `~/.profile`:
[user@work-gpg ~]$ echo "export QUBES_GPG_AUTOACCEPT=86400" >> ~/.bash_profile
[user@work-gpg ~]$ echo "export QUBES_GPG_AUTOACCEPT=86400" >> ~/.profile
Please note that at one time, this parameter was set in ~/.bash_profile.
This will no longer work.
If you have the parameter set in ~/.bash_profile you *must* update your configuration.
Please be aware of the caveat regarding passphrase-protected keys in the
[Current limitations][current-limitations] section.
