Here, if everything is working correctly, you should have the pinentry window show on screen, requesting you to enter the passphrase (with a small square that, if unmarked, will enable you to actually see what you are typing). Once this down, a similar pinentry window where you are requested to type the passphrase again, for confirmation. > > gpg: problem with the agent: Not supported Did you check whether gpg-agent is running and available? In Terminal gpg-agent [return] you should get: $ gpg-agent gpg-agent: gpg-agent running and available Also in Terminal: $ which gpg-agent you should get: /usr/local/bin/gpg-agent If you don't get that Terminal output, could you please copy-paste what you get? Please note that there is a dedicated list for gpg2 users: Macgpg2-users mailing list macgpg2-us...@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/macgpg2-users You might want to join that list and post to it.

I didn't skip the passphrase option, entered a passphrase, etc...key was generated. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
