I'll try again and let you know of remaining problems.

I used to always hit "y" to the question "remember the password", and
now I simply always hit "n" to the question "save the password in
.authinfo.gpg", so it's no worse than in Emacs-23.
If hitting "n" once will remember not to prompt ever again, the only
downside I can see is if someone later decides to change her mind, so we
should have a simple way to say revert the decision in the future.
Maybe the password prompt itself could somehow provide the ability to
say "RET + save", tho it's more important for this feature to be easy to
find than to be quick.

I'm not sure what this entails, but until now, Emacs has been caching my
password for the whole session (typically several days) and
I like that. I would not want to have to re-enter my password every
half hour.
