### Expected behavior

To facilitate using TRAMP, Emacs can save a password into a keyfile that only has got to be unlocked once per session. I'm using it to access files in my root directory.

If the keyfile does not exist yet, Emacs asks `Save auth info to file...`. Pressing `y` leads to Emacs asking for a password to encrypt the keyfile twice and eventually saving the keyfile successfully.

### Current behavior

It all worked fine for me before i ran doom upgrade recently. The last working configuration for me was from beginning/mid August. Since then, Emacs freezes completely when i press `y` to save the auth info to file.

As it freezes completely, it is hard for me to backtrace. I did my best and came up with the following:

This is Emacs asking me if i want to save auth info. I don't know if the `start:iloader: Finished!` debug output is related or just conincidental:

This is the debug output of Emacs freezing after me entering `y` to save auth info to file:

As Emacs freezes up completely, i cannot access anything else and only see this frozen message.

Running emacs --debug-init doesn't show an error message in the terminal when Emacs freezes, so this is of no help.

I deleted `~/.emacs.d` and reinstalled doom emacs but the issue persists. I ran doom upgrade frequently during the last couple of days but the issue didn't resolve itself.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Open Emacs
2. Open a bookmark that opens a file that needs the root password
3. Enter the root password
4. Emacs asks you whether to save this password to a file. Press `y`.
5. Emacs freezes completely.
