Hello David, (note: I'm able to revoke this subkey (done but not sent to keyserver yet)). The problem is that subkey comes alone and automatically when keypair is generated (and related keyring created). During creation there is only one password required which is linked to the primary key. My secret key and related password are OK. Where in this process is the secret part (and related password) of subkey specified ? How to specify correct attributes for subkey like encrypt & decrypt ?
