This is still susceptible to ransomware. Ransomware will simply encrypt over each file with its own key, regardless of if the file is already encrypted or not.

- Ciantic 5y agoBackups is of course required. I was talking about Ransomware which also enters your password database and steals the passwords in order to do more harm. With YubiKey you can make the GPG private key on offline machine and upload it to YubiKey. This way you can always have a offline backup of your private key, and thus you can backup your password database too.
