I’m interested to know whether you have a specific process or tool you use for managing your PGP keys?

I was thinking it’d be great if Lemmy allowed you to use PGP to verify your identity across multiple users on different instances. This made me think I need a good way to make sure I never lose my keys!

    I install my keys on 5 Yubikeys and then encrypt a copy of the private key so that it can only be decrypted with one of the Yubikeys. I store the encrypted bundle on Google drive and I’ve spread out the Yubikeys a little geographically by sending them to friends who I trust (PIN is still required to use the Yubikey so there’s still a layer of security). I also keep one of them in a safe at my house just in case.

    I do feel like I may have gone a little overboard but maybe something similar could work for you!

    I have mine in a Kleopatra keychain for convenience, but I also keep backups in a KeePassXC encrypted database for security. They are essentially text files, so you can treat them the same way as you treat your passwords. I hope this helps.
