Description

I have encountered several problems in the web interface, probably related to the fact that my key has expired.

  1. Trying to delete (gpg, probably expired) key: edit -> delete -> delete -> Are you sure? -> Error: {"code":100,"desc":"missing non-optional field kid","fields":{"kid":"missing non-optional field kid"},"name":"INPUT_ERROR"}
  2. Trying to export (gpg, probably expired) key: edit -> export -> passphrase -> Error: 'Error: Failed to get and unlock your private key'
  3. Trying to change password: settings -> account -> new passphrase, old passphrase -> save -> Error: 'Error In Update: no valid primary key self-signature or key(s) have expired'

Research direction

Start by reproducing the three reported web-interface flows: deleting an expired GPG key, exporting it, and changing the account passphrase. Compare the displayed errors with the expired-key state and define completion as all three actions handling that state without the reported failures.
