Git LFS asking for passphrase for every tracked file

I am using Git LFS with Bitbucket using OSX (although i found the same issue with Ubuntu).

My repo contains many files stored using Git LFS

When I do a git clone, it asks for my passphrase for EVERY tracked file using Git LFS. This is a huge issue as I can have potentially hundreds of files stored using Git LFS.

Note that there is no problems regarding files that are not tracked using Git LFS.

How can I fix this issue?

Solution

Update

As @Gabriel mentioned, you should now just use the usual:

git clone
git pull

Old Answer (Deprecated)

I am surprised that other people did not have this question.

The answer is to use:

git lfs clone instead of git clone
git lfs pull instead of git pull

This also improves performance by using parallelisation.
