Unless alpine is configured with a default passfile, it does not even
offer the option to use one. There are some security concerns to
consider[0], and I would understand if they were reason enough to not
enable the alpine passfile. But I don't want to keep typing several
complicated passwords every time I check my email from a VT, and I don't
think I'm the only one. Since this was not found in the archive, I
figured it would be worth sending a bug report.

On a side note, alpine 2.23 is released, and guix is still configured
for 2.22. Strangely enough, the package uses the same commit the release
tag points to.

Thanks,

-Jesse
