What if I forgot my passphrase?

There is no recovery. PGP private keys are intentionally only decryptable by the passphrase holder — that is the whole point. If the key file has no backup with a known passphrase, the encrypted content is unrecoverable.

Why does decryption fail with "Session key decryption failed"?

Either the wrong private key is used (the message was encrypted to a different recipient), or the passphrase is incorrect. Confirm the recipient fingerprint in the message header matches your key.

Can I decrypt without a passphrase?

Only if the private key was generated or re-encrypted without one. To remove a passphrase, paste the key into Generate Keys → Change Passphrase mode and leave the new passphrase blank.

Is the decrypted content saved anywhere?

No. It lives in the browser tab until you close it. Copying the result starts a 30-second clipboard-clear countdown when the "sensitive" toggle is on.

Can I open share links from chat or email?

Yes. Links of the form pgptool.dev/decrypt#decrypt:BASE64 auto-load the ciphertext into the input field. The recipient still needs their private key to actually read it.
