  Description     : Unlock GnuPG keys on login

 A PAM module that hands over your login password to gpg-agent, which can be
 useful if you are using a GnuPG-based password manager like pass.
 The code was written mainly by looking at and occasionally copying from GNOME
 Keyring's PAM module and pam_mount and is based on a somewhat mediocre
 understanding of the details of both PAM and C. You should be aware that
 there may be potentially dangerous bugs lurking.

Sounds like libpam-poldi. Does it offer any benefits?

Hello Bastian Germann.
Yes the programs seem to be similar, but I use the one I packaged (pam-gnupg) and it is a package recommended by the
Mutt-Wizard that I also use, and how it works well and is still being developed by its author (Chris Ruegge -
https://github.com/cruegge/pam-gnupg), unlike libpam-poldi (https://www.g10code.com/p-poldi.html) which is out of date, I
decided to package for Debian to be able to share with more people and so we have 1 more updated option.

Best regards
