GPG support? (like SSH)
Would it be possible to add similar support for GPG keys?

2 years agoI'd like to clarify my specific part of wanting GPG support. I'd like to have 1PW serve as my gpg-agent process much like it serves as my ssh-agent. This way, when I attempt to use an agent feature, I'm prompted for my password and the agent provides the necessary key. Additionally, having an option to require the 1PW password whenever a key is used similar to a Credit Card entry would be nice!
I feel like one of the advantages GPG keys offer over SSH keys for signing content is the availability of sub keys for different personas. For example, I'm the same person at work and in personal life, but I can have separate keys for both personas as subkeys to my main key. This is how maintainers of several Linux distributions are encouraged to use GPG, and it seems generally like a good practice. Additionally, as already mentioned, GPG can be used to sign and encrypt email, text files, backups, and a host of other things beyond simply signing git commits. GPG public keys are also discoverable, which makes them much easier to use for communication purposes.
Thanks for all the great work on 1PW so far!
