Title: Setting up PGP on MAC OSX
Post by: sinister-breaks on August 28, 2013, 09:29 am
There is already a PGP thread on here, but its overwhelmed with posts and I personally found it difficult as a MAC user to get PGP to work for me. Here is how I did it in a few simple steps, hope it helps someone!

1) Download and Install GPGTools
2) Go into System Preferences > Keyboard > Services and make sure all the openPGP boxes are ticked (really important and the part that confuses most if not done)
3) Copy and paste the desired Vendor PGP into a text file, open GPGTools and import that text file.
4) Open TextEditor, type your message / address, highlight it, right click (or old OSX equivalent) and select services > Encrypt
5) Select your vendor key from the list
6) Copy and paste the new generated PGP back.
