Here, using GnuPG 2.2.4 under Windows, I was able to:-

1. gpg --edit-key KeyID passwd.

2. enter the key's existing password in the pinentry pop-up

3. press ENTER when asked for the new passphrase

4. press the button to confirm I don't want protection

5. repeat 3. and 4.

6. quit the key editing dialogue

7. gpgconf --kill gpg-agent and then try another key editing operation
on the same key to verify that I was no longer asked for a passphrase

8. gpg -a -o path\to\file --export-secret-key KeyID

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

gpg2 export secret key without passphrase

2017-12-28 Thread Caleb Case 
Hi,

I am using gpg2 with some build automation and I need to generate a key for
the automation that does not require a passphrase. I was unable to export
the secret key until I added a passphrase, but then there was no way export
it without the passphrase.

I did eventually stumble on a hack recommended elsewhere to use the older
gpg (not gpg2) toolchain, import, remove password, and then export. But
this does not seem like the correct way to do this.

How does one export a gpg2 private key without a passphrase?

Thanks!

Caleb
