Please help me. I am unable to add new Open PGPs because it keeps coming up with the users email as mrswarve1@protonmail.com automatically. I know these people are genuine. Is this normal because I have never had this happen to me on Kleopatra.
I have tried turning the PGPs into .asc files as suggested when researching online but this also does not work.
Can someone please help me? I really need to get this sorted tonight. Is it a block on my PC or something? I am doing everything correctly but the username always comes up as “mrswarve1” and the email as “mrswarve1@protonmail.com” which cannot be right.
Do you mean, that you can’t import OpenPGP keys of others (public keys)?
Did you download them from a public source (like a keyserver), or from e-mails that you received, or …?
Which version of Kleopatra are you running (Help → About)
I can import them but the username and email are clearly incorrect. Every single one I have tried does the same thing.
I got the keys from people I have bought items from in the past but am using Telegram now.
Kleopatra: Gpg4win-5.0.2
Kleopatra: 782c464a9801d6189e3d3be494922f42857bd26c
GnuPG: 2.5.18
Libgcrypt: 1.12.1
KDE Frameworks: 6.20.0
Qt: Using 6.10.1 and built against 6.10.1
Windows 11 Version 25H2
Build ABI: x86_64-little_endian-llp64
Kernel: winnt 10.0.26200
No idea where that Kernel came from as that was not part of what I copied. Is is Kernel related?
This is part of the operation system info, it is not shown in the GUI, but copied anyway. Not relevant here. We only needed the info “Gpg4win-5.0.2”.
What do you mean by PGP platforms?
If you import a public key and Kleopatra then shows that mail address associated with it, then this is correct. Did you know that a key can have several user-IDs (names and mail addresses)? Look in the key details (double click on key) to see all of them.
A word of warning: Anybody can create an OpenPGP key with any information. This is the reason why one needs to carefully verify that they belong to the person one believes before using them.
When I say other programs, it means, I have tried to add them on other programs and the same thing happens.
I don’t think you realise what I am saying. There is something blocking me from adding PGPs and I have tried adding 5 which all come up with the same email address so why is that happening?
