Thanks Maciej,

gpg -K

returns with nothing

Running gpg directly on a file in the password store using

gpg -d filename

gives

gpg: encrypted with 3072-bit RSA key, ID 94FDE31D5B3E9BC6, created 2020-03-11
      "[email protected]"
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

Cheers, Neil

Hello,

I am sure this ought to be quite simple but I am having a heck of a time figuring out how to migrate my password store from an old drive to a new SSD drive. I have moved the contents of the .password-store folder across and can see all of the *.gpg files. I exported the gpg keys using the old drive

gpg --export-secret-keys --armor --output privkey.asc [email protected]

and tried importing on the new drive using

gpg --import privkey.asc

When I try to access the password store using pass it says

gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

I have looked around on-line and can't find a good how-to for this common use case.

Any help or pointers greatly appreciated.

And what does gpg -K say?
Did you try decrypting any password file manually using gpg (without pass)?

BTW:
That's more of a GPG question than a pass one.

Regards, Neil
