<p>welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.</p>
<p>You are using an old version of GPG Suite. Please download and install the current stable version which is GPG Suite 2020.1. To receive update notifications you can enable automatic updates in System Preferences > GPG Suite Preferences > Settings > Update.</p>
<p>As for your import problem: Are you certain this is only a public key? Importing a public key will not ask for a passphrase. So you might be trying to import a secret key. You can open the file you are trying to import in a text editor and search for "private key". Do you see that string?</p>
<p>If this is a secret key from a third party, your passphrase will not work which would be expected. But you should inform that third party that they are sharing their secret key, which never should be done. So they should probably revoke that key and create a new key.</p>
<p>All the best,<br>

<p>Many thanks for your prompt reply. Much appreciated.</p>
