    Hi andersnielsen1994,

    welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry to hear you are having problems using GPG Suite.

    The error message you are seeing may indicate a problem with permissions on your ~/.gnupg folder.

    You should have read, write access to all files and directories below ~/.gnupg and list access x to all directories.

    Please open terminal and execute the following command
    chmod -R u+rwX ~/.gnupg to fix the permissions.

    After than retry to create a new key.

    Best,
    Steve
