In my case I haven't any backup of mine GPG secret key here.
So I removed my stored and lost passwords from password-store.
I just initialize this password-store with the command:
pass init [email protected]
I shell store here my passwords again.
I am just curious: can one decrypt it's password-store with command
which is opposite to the
pass init command?

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.

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. I do not remember why not.
Probably I removed with Seahorse the old GPG secret key so I can't
decrypt my passwords stored in password-store.
At the same time I created a new key pair with gpg and tried to use
with
it the password-store but without success.
What can I do now to get my passwords back?
