<p>welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.</p>
<p>This sounds really obscure. Glad you were able to get back to working state. I still wonder what went wrong in the first place. Have you tried re-installing keybase and see if you are able to use your key with that app? I'd be curious to learn if the problem is reproducible or was a one time glitch.</p>
<p>Kind regards,<br>

Yeah a weird one for sure.</p>
<p>I managed to re-install Keybase through another weird hack: my issue was that Keybase wasn't letting me log in with my PGP secret key, throwing the following error:</p>
<p>▶ ERROR ImportKey error: openpgp: invalid data: entity without any identities <a href="https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/4213">https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/4213</a></p>
<p>The solution was to delete, then re-add some of my UIDs through GPG Keychain. To the best of my Google-based knowledge there's some incompatibility in how pgp2 was formatting results when keybase requested them, and this procedure forced pgp2 to reformat them in a way Keybase was ok with.</p></div>tingebertag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/424747772017-05-04T11:06:44Z2017-05-04T11:06:44Z"Secret key to decrypt the message is missing." but GPG Keychain has my sec key<div><p>Nice research work!</p>
<p>You may want to +1 the GitHub keybase issue to raise attention on their side.</p>
<p>I'm closing this discussion. Should you need further assistance or have questions you can re-open this discussion here or open a new one any time.</p>
<p>Also if you want updates as to when the keybase issue may be solved would be highly welcome, so others can understand the history of this problem.</p>
<p>Best, steve</p></div>Steve
