Interesting food for thought here, but you’re talking about making the keys more secure.
These keys are ONLY used to store E-mail credentials, so “Good enough” is plenty :) I’ll work on successfully retaining and managing my single key first, and then we can work on flying around the room :)
But thanks!
Hey I just want to thank you for this. It did indeed do exactly what I wanted! I think in the past when I’d tried to export my secret key I musn’t have used the right parameters because I could never import it, but when I follow this guide I can!
So now I can just store plaintext private and public keys on my private NAS and import them on any machine where they’re needed and I’m good to go!
Apple does not care and will never care about open source other than the bits it has to care about because they’re a part of Darwin, their core.
They’re a company offering a particular “experience” and open source products do not fit into that model well at all. I use apple phones because I’m partially blind and for a very long time the accessibility story on Android was a screaming nightmare (I’m told it’s got better) but I have no illusions that they’re anything other than a profit seeking MegaCorp with all that implies.
Yup that’s the solution I went with in the end analysis. Just use the exported text file copies of my keys and I’m good to go :)
