Hello,
I have recently installed a new SSD on my computer and I am trying to
move my password store (using pass) to the new drive. I am using Ubuntu
20.04.2 LTS.
I can see the individual *.gpg files that form the password store but I
am not able to decrypt them.
Here are some things I have tried
$gpg -K
returns with nothing
Running gpg directly on a single file in the password store using
$gpg -d filename
gives
$gpg: encrypted with 3072-bit RSA key, ID 94FDE31D5B3E9BC6, created
2020-03-11
"m...@emailaddress.com"
$gpg: decryption failed: No secret key
I tried exporting the secret key from the old drive using
$gpg --export-secret-keys --armor --output privkey.asc m...@emailaddress.com
and tried importing on the new drive using
$gpg --import privkey.asc
the import process seems to succeed with the following message
$gpg: key D96B626F551DE067: "m...@emailaddress.com" not changed
$gpg: key D96B626F551DE067: secret key imported
$gpg: Total number processed: 1
$gpg: unchanged: 1
$gpg: secret keys read: 1
$gpg: secret keys unchanged: 1
Not sure if it is important or not but inside the
~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/ directory I have 2 files
5A96EC16F8D4B37AEEF42D805853853AAECAAE20.key
6E8963C9E7FBC51DEFA9DDE31FC12AC65F7D865D.key
Cheers, Neil
