Right.

I think Ted is working on making ~/.authinfo partially encrypted, though
it won't work with GnuPG2 and/or gpg-agent and calls gpg program many
times.

Maybe you could try: (setq auth-sources '("~/.emacs.d/auth.plist"))
*.plist file is handled by a different backend which I added recently,
that supports partial encryption without hassles.
