Hey all
Have been setting up gpg following the guide from colej and when testing decrypting messages sent from myself it says that my passphrase is incorrect. Thing is my passphrase should be correct this also happened another time I tried to set it up.
What am I doing wrong?
Excuse my noobiness.
Cheers.

I wish I could help but it sounds like your on windows or using a different program. If you're on a mac, PM me and I'd be glad to help and test out some messages with you.
Are you sure you're typing your passphrase correctly? Mine was extremely long and random so I mis-typed it several times since you can't copy & paste.
EDIT: Actually I just encountered the same problem. just close the program out, restart it, make a new message, and encrypt/decrypt it. problem solved. I was typing my passphrase correctly every time too but when I rebooted it worked fine. IDK if this will work for you but hopefully helps someone.
EDIT again: I'm getting the same glitch the OP is referencing again. I'm typing in my passphrase slowly and I'm pretty sure its correct since I had to hand type it twice (not copy and paste) to confirm it when creating it. It won't decrypt messages for this reason :( If anyone can help please advise us
