    I recently got into encryption to secure and sign my mail, but how do you use it with password encryption?

    Adding credentials to a file? Just a regular text file run through some process? I don’t understand.

      Yes, I write credentials in a file and encrypt them with my public key. Then I use my private key to decrypt them when needed.
