Today, after getting your email, when I tried it again, there was a
completely different flow.

I connected to a new machine via ‘/ssh:u <at> ip:~/hello.txt’. Since the
entry was not there in my ‘~/.authinfo.gpg’, it asked for password. But
tramp did not ask me to save the password. I am on (master).

I tried following configurations:

1. With my customised auth-sources which is set to
   ("~/.authinfo.gpg") and only ~/.authinfo.gpg exists
2. With my customised auth-sources which is set to
   ("~/.authinfo.gpg") and both ~/.authinfo.gpg and ~/.authinfo exist
3. With default value, which is
   ("~/.authinfo" "~/.authinfo.gpg" "~/.netrc") and only ~/.authinfo.gpg
   exists
4. With default value, which is
   ("~/.authinfo" "~/.authinfo.gpg" "~/.netrc") and both ~/.authinfo.gpg
   and ~/.authinfo exist

Same behaviour in all cases. Tramp is no longer asking to save the
password.
