Hi Jake, are you using the Pulumi service (<http://app.pulumi.com|app.pulumi.com>) for your stack storage or the local backend?

The passphrase only applies to the local backend.

When using the service, the service manages a stack-specific key for you.

_Note: we have some changes in the works for this at <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/1867> ._

Howdy. Yeah its local backend. We don't have the service in use yet. Not approved. Yet.

Hmm, the `PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE` env var works for me. <https://gist.github.com/clstokes/2d3b34007dae2a388c3e38cfabd77d1e>

Rar. I must be flubbing something up. Ill look back into it and post what I did wrong.

:zipper_mouth_face: Nothing to see here. Move along. Basic shell fail: I wasn't exporting, I was setting previous to the execution.
