Why password is needed + fixed KEY_RING_ID

[passcombo]

1 Why password is really needed?
I read password is needed for hdd encryption of keys (Secret keys), but checking the code I didn't notice any, so is the password/passhprase really needed? Also there is part of SecretKeys in Pgp object but they do not seem to be used ?
// Im still learning pgp, so maybe I dont get sth right...

2. You have fixed KEY_RING_ID = email in the code, which is always used in building keys

Yeah, I think same. Why is the KEY_RING_ID fixed?

no particular reason tbh, can be changed naturally. any suggestions how you guys would like it? random string? one time per install key?

If you can give us a choice, then do the random and to set custom one. I've been experiencing issues with the library, getting error" Provider SC does not support encryption method RSA" pe 10. huhtik. 2020 klo 21.12 Jan Rabe <notifications@github.com> kirjoitti:
