   Hello Wilfred!   
      
   23 Dec 24 15:14, you wrote to me:   
      
    WV>>> I have a few keys from the early days of pgp in my keyring (1993   
    WV>>> and 1994), of which I can't remember their passphrase, and there   
    WV>>> is no way of revoking them. They probably won't work anymore   
    WV>>> with the current gnupg out of the box, without using some   
    WV>>> special backwards compatibility options... (Probably --pgp2 is   
    WV>>> needed to use them if I could remember their passphrases ;-)).   
      
    SR>> I think I still have an active key somewhere that I have on an   
    SR>> old hard drive from the mid 90s. I came across it and was shocked   
    SR>> it was still working.   
      
    WV> If it's rsa of atleast 2048 bits, I think it is still usable...   
      
   I am going to spend the week trying to find the HD :)
