Description

Hi,
Although I understand the security concerns with doing this I would still like to know if it is possible. I have a previously generated gpg key and should not need to regenerate in order to use in browser decryption.

Perhaps I have missed something and if that is so, just provide me with a link or instructions in order to accomplish this.

Thanks,
Chris

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing browser decryption flow and how it handles a previously generated GPG secret key. Determine whether importing or uploading that key is supported without regeneration. Done means providing documented instructions for a supported path, or clearly documenting that the requested workflow is not possible.
