<p>welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.</p>
<p>This <a href="https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/gpg-keychain-faq/how-to-revoke-a-key-or-user-id-and-can-i-delete-a-key-from-the-key-servers#lost-secret-key-or-password">KB-article</a> explains what to do if you forgot your password or lost access to your secret key.</p>
<p>Do you have a backup of your old computer or still access to it? There is no other way to retrieve the secret key if you had not transferred or backed it up to a thumb drive earlier.</p>
<p>All the best,<br>
