Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between ASCII and binary export?

ASCII armored format is text-based and safe for email/web sharing. Binary format is more compact and preferred for file storage or some applications.

Should I export my private key?

Only export private keys for backup purposes or transferring to other devices you control. Never share private keys with others.

Can I export keys without passphrases?

You can export the key structure, but private keys should always be protected with strong passphrases for security.

Are exported keys compatible with other software?

Yes, exported keys use standard OpenPGP formats compatible with GPG, Thunderbird, Outlook, and other PGP-compliant software.

How should I store exported private keys?

Store private key backups securely - encrypted storage, password managers, or offline media. Never store them in plain text or cloud services.
