The C implementation of minisign can create, and use, passwordless keys. For compatability, this project should also be able to read and use passwordless keys. In particular, to use all minisign keys, it should support the -W option:
5027» minisign -v
minisign 0.11
5028» minisign -h | grep -- -W
minisign -G [-f] [-p pubkey_file] [-s seckey_file] [-W]
minisign -C [-s seckey_file] [-W]
-W do not encrypt/decrypt the secret key with a password
Go-minisign's key reading algorithm can not understand passwordless keys:
5033» go run ./cmd/minisign -v
minisign v0.0.0-dev on linux-amd64
5034» go run ./cmd/minisign -S -m LICENSE -s ~/.minisign/minisign.key
Enter password:
Deriving a key from the password in order to decrypt the secret key...
Error: invalid password: minisign: decryption failed
exit status 1
