I get the following error:
Hi there, have you already tried the steps from FAQ? https://github.com/browserpass/browserpass#does-not-work-on-macos-native-host-has-exited
I thought I had but hadn't done all the steps. After following the steps my pass doesn't seem to work at all (not from terminal either). I get the following error:
gpg: can't connect to the agent: IPC connect call failed
gpg: can't connect to the agent: IPC connect call failed
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key
Any idea what is wrong? Thanks!
Try to restart gpg-agent, or maybe better simply reboot. After that make sure gpg itself is able to see your private key with gpg -K, if so proceed retrying pass and browserpass.
Just tried restarting and then gpg -K but that just resulted in:
gpg: can't connect to the agent: IPC connect call failed
gpg: can't connect to the agent: IPC connect call failed
gpg: can't connect to the agent: IPC connect call failed
Any other ideas?
Uh it seems you broke your gpg 😄 Try to google, there are some results like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46673717/gpg-cant-connect-to-the-agent-ipc-connect-call-failed
Browserpass doesn't use pass at all, but it heavily depends on gpg, so you've got to get gpg working before you can use this project :)
So I simply re-installed macgpg2 from https://github.com/GPGTools/MacGPG2, that fixed the issue. Not sure what I did to break it though!
browserpass also works now, thanks for the help :)
Yay, enjoy 😉
