Description

The site tells me I should upload my private (passphrase enabled) key. OK, I'll take that! But how?

Using keybase on windows and android, and it seems I am not able to manage this more or less basic task, since the user documentation is probably the worst part of this wonderful project ;)

And no, I am not going to generate a new keypair, since I want to use my already exisiting one. Wrong thinking?

Cheers
Peter

Research direction

No documentation file or test is named. Start by reviewing the existing user documentation for importing an already existing passphrase-protected private key on Windows and Android. Done means users can follow clear instructions to make that key available for online decryption and signing without generating a new keypair.
