<p>I see the following lines in a key:</p>
<p>Version: GnuPG / MacGPG2 v2.0.19 (Darwin)<br>
Comment: GPGTools - <a href="http://gpgtools.org">http://gpgtools.org</a></p>
<p>This is unfortunately not the case with my key. Where can I adjust this?</p>
<p>Best regards</p>

<p>welcome to the GPGTools support platform.</p>
<p>We deliberately removed both the version info and the software info from the comment field. Both data points can help an attacker to identify potentially which version of a software you are using and which operating system you are on. Having information about specific old version which may have unfixed security bugs allows for further attack surface.</p>
<p>So we removed the comment option from System Preferences > GPG Suite Preferences since it added more harm than value.</p>
<p>If you still want to use a comment, which we do not recommend, you can always do so via the command line.</p>
<p>Enjoy your weekend,<br>
