I cannot revoke the key. I have disabled the old key and generated a new key for future use and understand that without the pass phrase I have no longer access to my old encrypted emails. However, even after I reinstalled GPG suite on my mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 Pinentry Mac keeps asking me for the passphrase for the old key every few seconds. How can I disable the old key in the Apple mail program so that these pop windows no longer appear?</p></div>Stefan tag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/436403192017-10-15T10:28:30Z2017-10-15T10:28:30ZRemove disabled Key (for which pass phrase has been forgotten) from GPG Suite<div><p>Hi Stefan,</p>
<p>welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.</p>
<p>Could you double check the old passphrase is not stored in macOS keychain by following the KB linked below:</p>
<p>The pinentry requests you are seeing may be happening due to the migration from MacGPG 2.0.x to 2.2.0.</p>
<p>Please visit the following <a href="https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/faq/gpg-suite-20171-gnupg-20-gnupg-22-migration-help#since-the-upgrade-i-39-m-asked-for-my-secret-key-39-s-passphrase-but-i-can-39-t-remember-what-it-was-">KB-article</a> and let me know if that brings you back to the expected state.</p>
<p>Best,<br>
