Troubleshooting GPG Keys

passhole uses gpg2 to store your database password encrypted on disk to take advantage of the password caching features of gpg-agent. By default passhole will use the first GPG key on your keyring, but this can be overridden. This key must have trust level 5 (ultimate) and should be created using gpg2. If you created your key with gpg, you can export your keys to gpg2 as shown below.

gpg --export | gpg2 --import
gpg --export-secret-keys | gpg2 --import
