Managing Your PGP Keys

[@Giselle-np1xo]

These are by far the best and really informative. I wish they’d make one about Electrum Wallet.

[@MrCork7]

doesnt electrum already come with tails?

[@kevingrenier91]

@Infosec Bytes I tried to import the key from a friend in every way you told in your vid. It's good. But damn, when I Klick on import, nothing happens. I can't see their keys and I can't use them to send them encrypted messages. What is the problem.??Pls help me.

[@kevingrenier91]

@Fatty Fatty Two by Four yes I did. 1.) Copy the public key into text editor. 2.) save the file with .asc at the end and save the file in your home director. (you can save it for example in the permanent tor files.) 3.) After that locate the file in home directory & THE MOST IMPORTANT PART: right CLICK on the asc.file and select Import Keys. Close than the key ring application, restart it, and voila, the keys are visible imported. You can find the guide also on amp.reddit.com/r/tails/comments/dlpxxc/importing_public_key_does_nothing/

[@kevingrenier91]

@Fatty Fatty Two by Four did you fix it with my instruction or the infos in the link. That was a fucking big problem. I have searched weeks for a solution. Nothing on KZbin or the internet :D

[@nbaneverbtoke9639]

Kevin Grenier thank you so much this fixed it

[@chilliberry]

[@cjp2099]

[@chilliberry]

Hi! I can only find my privat key, not the pulic .... NO files in the Tor browser. Please HELP

[@liamairey3055]

If I follow the steps to export the public key it only lets me export the private key. How do I get my public key to share?

[@nDarkSide]

[@bouchrakhlafa1357]

[@user-xu3so2ug1f]

how can I manage these in Manjaro?

[@switextrem3715]

It ist right that ist doesent word right now to import key?

[@paulbailey6251]

Hi, I was following your tutorial and got ahead of myself by deleting the 'default' set of keys! How can I restore them as you said they would be needed? Thanks

[@paulbailey6251]

@k je Thanks - I agree - even though I'm reluctant to do so.

[@paulbailey6251]

@k je Once again, thanks! I tried the terminal but file names or fingerpirnt not known. However, it is possible to download each one separately, which I did. Once downloaded, they only require a 'double-click' and they load into the app. I would think the only 'possible' hitch with this method is the signing. Sorry to hear about the headaches. I do appreciate your help. Best.

[@FromThaTripppleD]

Couple questions : so an active email address is not needed , all info is made up? And unless I really need to stay in contact with someone I could just make a new key everytime I needed to use pgp correct ?

[@FromThaTripppleD]

@k je much appreciated

[@FromThaTripppleD]

@k je much appreciated.

[@jacobjester8778]

For some reason it would let me import my partners key, any suggestions?? Edit: just open files and decrypt it with your passphrase

[@trelane985]

jacob jester can you explain this step further? It’s not working for me either, even though I’ve followed this tutorial a million times.

[@user-cb6km6co5p]

@@trelane985 same

[@PetrolPatrol]

What if the recipient doenn't have an E-Mail attached to their key.

[@kalenlay9544]

If opening from the import menu does not work then double click the .asc file

[@samuellee8642]

[@MarkKrubsack]

[@jachfeng6201]

At time 20:30, it might be better to have a single key image in the hexagon instead of a key pair:-)

[@ghostwolf5867]

Hello all anyone know root terminal password

[@personalstuff3019]

You set an admin password when you boot

[@juxoneutube]

This was a great Video but is seriously lacking in HOW to save the generated key pair. If you create you key pair (using a usb boot) and the exit tails the key pair is lost. You CAN export the public key (something they do not talk about) to a persistent folder and then import it BUT the private key is lost and since it is lost it can never be recreated!!!

[@Kai11xirving]

You Can enable persictence

[@smileyleaves3066]

id understood all previous vids... this is the hardest one

[@Aybek4]

Pgp is pretty difficult

[@Shad0wz101]

When I click import to add a key to my keyring I click import but then the key does not get added to my GnuPG keys, any advice on what’s going wrong?

[@dustingallamy2897]

I think it’s a glitch with the current version of tails. It does I fact add the key, it just doesn’t show up. You can still sign messages with the pgp when you click on the sign button

[@MorphTW]

try to use terminal for importing keys. current version of tails have problems with key import over GUI. google for CLI (or terminal) commands for pgp key import

[@nDarkSide]

@@MorphTW Same Problem here -.- do you have any link?

[@mackdiezlondon]

can someone tell me how to export my private and public key pair onto another file manager on another computer ??

[@joshbost6361]

I would like to know this as well!!

[@mackdiezlondon]

@@joshbost6361 export your keys on kleopatra or whatever your using and not on file manager. Then save it on your desktop then go on file manager and import it and both secret and public key should appear on your keys

[@TheHeadlessBishops]

I just accidentally double clicked on the .asc file and it imported straight to my GnuPG keys, sorted!

[@kalterkaffee7276]

Welllllll... I dont see this clipboard.

[@kos6963]

But how do you see your private to usb

[@sonnycofacks4665]

Dude see how you turned the Asc file to block and we seen our public key, how do I see and manually save my private key in block form please help anyone who can help help me out I’m still bony at this

[@michaelisola4459]
