   Hi Sean,   
      
   On 2024-12-23 11:32:42, you wrote to me:   
      
    SR>>> None of the older keys are valid, that is why I use expiry in   
    SR>>> case I lose them.   
      
    WV>> I have a few keys from the early days of pgp in my keyring (1993 and   
    WV>> 1994), of which I can't remember their passphrase, and there is no way   
    WV>> of revoking them. They probably won't work anymore with the current   
    WV>> gnupg out of the box, without using some special backwards   
    WV>> compatibility options... (Probably --pgp2 is needed to use them if I   
    WV>> could remember their passphrases ;-)).   
      
    SR> I think I still have an active key somewhere that I have on an old hard   
   drive   
    SR> from the mid 90s. I came across it and was shocked it was still working.   
      
   If it's rsa of atleast 2048 bits, I think it is still usable...   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
