Hello,
I am sure this ought to be quite simple but I am having a heck of a time
figuring out how to migrate my password store from an old drive to a new
SSD drive. I have moved the contents of the .password-store folder
across and can see all of the *.gpg files. I exported the gpg keys using
the old drive
gpg --export-secret-keys --armor --output privkey.asc my at emailaddress.com
and tried importing on the new drive using
gpg --import privkey.asc
When I try to access the password store using pass it says
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key
I have looked around on-line and can't find a good how-to for this
common use case.
Any help or pointers greatly appreciated.
Regards, Neil
