Hi there experts! I need a step-by-step guide… On how to create and backup GPG keys on multiple nitrokeys. Easy step by step. I did try this just now, but i think i created by mistake a set of keys wrong first that had an expire date, and then one without, there where some small issue and i messed it all up! I have bought a new nitrokey and need to set up a few tokens, and pass… Here are some background info… I accidentally generated something twice in the beginning i think. Hmm. doh on that one.

I really need that in an easy step-by-step guide if possible… By tomorrow would be awesome haha… If anyone got time? Thanks very much!!! Or like this week maybe…
Whenever would be really great.
I did try this just now, but got some small issues with importing keys, etc… And yeah…
Could anyone try this out? Pass and a nitrokey, or multiple?
That would be really cool! An official guide would be the best also… How to set up pass, nitrokeys and OpenGPG on multiple cards if people drop one you know…
One .asc file gets scrambled in some other way then the others by the way… Maybe just a link… Not sure.
Also, how to restore old nitrokeys as default, and use the guide for that. Start over and just have a good pass setup. And some backup with GPG offline. These three baked into one working nice step-by-step guide would be really needed and appreciated. Newbie friendly you know. Also, one of these generate keys commands i read makes a few keys that expire… So i need the full --expert mode in creating keys also…
Also, keytocard delete keys, so you might need to copy them over each time, or do every step again and again on each smartcard and nitrokey.
And you need to backup the keys at the right time and then transfer them over to the multiple keys in the right way, and take correct backups. The key 1 and key 2 and that extra key might “mess up” the backup for something i don’t know.
Maybe someone is bored and wants to play with pass and a few nitrokeys? I might be lucky!
It’s a good password management system! Maybe write out how you did it step-by-step on a debian system?
Many people would find that really useful… They might as-well even buy multiple keys on this store, why would they not? I know i would! Thanks
edit: I did find the factory reset just now… That’s good. If i read a nice guide that works for sure i can do that…

It’s not that easy setting up good open source password management apparently. But way worth it when it works! I could use one key by myself and set that up… but yeah… Just having some issues now and i have never learnt GPG even… Just wanna set it up on multiple keys from the start really. Then it’s easy to transfer that to another machine if you need your passwords, and you don’t need to remember them. Very good tools! It would just suck to do it all over again if you drop one nitrokey you know…
So yeah a working guide would be really awesome! A few usb keys with the same gpg info in them not expiring.
This works on pro 2 and storage and all kind of tokens so yeah, it’s nice. I think it’s needed… Not just by me… It’s just a good solution on password management. And pass is the cleanest i have used also…
Anyone up for the challenge? Might be easy for some of you already.
The user nku (credits) has already written out like 90% of it already so yeah if anyone feels like testing it out and backing up and restoring and writing a guide or blog post and link it, or know one on the internetz already existing. Please share!
