[pass] gpg: cannot open `/dev/tty': Device not configured

[Ivan Pedersen]

I installed GPG from here: https://gpgtools.org/ <https://gpgtools.org/>
The gpg-agent.conf looks like this:

$ cat gpg-agent.conf

default-cache-ttl 600
max-cache-ttl 7200
pinentry-program /usr/local/MacGPG2/libexec/pinentry-mac.app/Contents/MacOS/pinentry-mac

I tried changing it to:
pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-mac

But it does not make any difference. They actually the same thing I guess? I don’t know much about these things but I recognise the pinentry-mac gui from earlier so it’s using that when signing and encrypting emails for example.

I use the script from here (Thanks Steffen) http://git.zx2c4.com/password-store/tree/contrib/pass.applescript <http://git.zx2c4.com/password-store/tree/contrib/pass.applescript> and have added the notification and shortcut to the service. But whenever I try to fetch a key i get this error message: "gpg: cannot open `/dev/tty': Device not configured”.
