Forgot my PGP passphrase

So, I made the pgp adress only to send encrypted messages, I didn't really think I'd have to open any as I just used it to send my adress so I didn't really care about remember the passphrase because I wasn't going to be opening any pgp messages..

However, I put an order in with GG on his site, and to view the order details I have to decrypt a pgp message.. I've messaged them through the site but they were not willing to send the details in clear text. What are my options here? I've been trying all passwords I've ever used to no luck.

Next time-

  1. Write that shit down
  2. Roll it up and stick it in a curtain/closet rod.
  3. Retrieve as necessary.

Your option is to learn how to decrypt. It doesn't take a genius! If you took the time to learn to encrypt, it's not a stretch to learn how to decrypt.

You have to remember your password/phrase. Whatever you made it. There's really no other option unless you posted it on Reddit it's unlikely that anyone here knows it. If it's just a tracking number it's probably best that you don't have it. Checking tracking won't get your package any faster.

OP: "I didn't really think I'd have to open any as I just used it to send my adress so I didn't really care about remember the passphrase because I wasn't going to be opening any pgp messages.."

So, you never thought you would ever need to reply to any messages?

Seems like you should be researching @ DNMnoobs or whatever that sub is.

Very careless on your end.

I really hope he just sent you the tracking number and not some important info regarding the order that you would need to reply to or look into. Hopefully for you, everything is good with the order and he was replying to give you tracking#.

That isn't a big deal at all, not having the tracking info.

See if they'll send to a new pgp key, he probably just doesn't want it cleartext on the market.

All the cool kids include "nigger" in their passpharases.

create a new key and sent it to the vendor and explain your situation and hopefully your problem is resolved

You don't need a PGP key to send your address, just the vendor's.
