If you have a backup of your GPG secret key, you can restore that and use it to re-encrypt your passwords to the new key.
If you do not have a backup, your encrypted passwords are permanently lost. There is no way to recover them without the secret key. I'm sorry to bring the bad news, if that is the case. /Emil On Sat, 1 Feb 2020, 10:26 Csanyi Pal, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I messed up my GPG secret key and password-store system here. > > I do not understand how GPG works. > > I removed with Seahorse my old secret key so now pass show command does > not shows any passwords out there. > > Eg: > pass show AvilagHalon/Telefonjaim/Telenor > > gives this message. > gpg: decryption failed: No secret key > > How did I get into this trouble? > > I am going to change my Desktop Environment from Xfce4 to LXQt. > > So when I am logged in at LXQt then I couldn't use passwords with pass, > or QtPass.
