Migrating to new computer

[Neil Webster]

Thanks Maciej,

gpg -K

returns with nothing

Running gpg directly on a file in the password store using

gpg -d filename

gives

gpg: encrypted with 3072-bit RSA key, ID 94FDE31D5B3E9BC6, created 
2020-03-11
       "my at emailaddress.com"
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

Cheers, Neil
