Hey guys, I wanted to ask you how you manage your gpg keys? Having them in plaintext all the time on my hard drive feels unsecure.

I have my ssh keys in a password manager (KeePassXC) that only exposes them to the keyagend, when unlocked. Do you know if something like that exists for pgp too?

      I am not OP, but that would be the ideal solution for me. Unfortunately, KPXC does not support communication with the GPG agent and the team is not interested in adding this feature due to it being «[…] far more complicated than ssh-key management. There are already excellent tools for this, Kleopatra being the best».
