Can't decrypt passwords #1288
-
|
Downloaded and installed OpenKeychain on Android, first generated a new keypair. Recieved the message: Error Opening from OpenKeyChain : No encrypted data with known secret key found in stream! I figured I should maybe just import the key pair I'm already using. I went ahead and did that, yet I'm still recieving the same problem. Perhaps Password Store doesn't know how to communicate to OpenKeyChain wrong? Or what am I doing wrong? |

You need to import the secret key of the keypair that you used to encrypt your password store with, into OpenKeychain. Generating a new one will not work, only importing the public part will not work. |

Right, I imported both the pubkey and private key I generated, and that I'm using from the original keychain. I'll try to delete and reimport though |

It looks like it's maybe an issue with OpenKeychain, I definitely have the right key pair on there. This is the error message I get when I click the refresh icon under the key's menu. I received this issue both on wifi and on my cell's data, so ruled out firewall and IPS from my network.

Go to OpenKeychain settings > Key Search > Manage OpenPGP keyservers and drag the sks-keyservers.net server to the top, that will hopefully fix it. |

Awesome that seemed to fix it! I also resynced my repository just in case, the two together probably did the thing. I appreciate you bud! |
