Whoa nice you have a GPG smart card? Very cool. There were some people giving out USB tokens at FOSDEM which looked sort of neat but I haven't gotten it working

Whoa nice you have a GPG smart card? Very cool. There were some people giving out USB tokens at FOSDEM which looked sort of neat but I haven't gotten it working reliably. GPG is mostly easy to use -- gpg -e -r someone@somewhere.com file.txt -- will encrypt that file for that recipient. Most of the basic stuff are easy. For creating a key and setting that up, I suppose this isn't super intuitive and nobody has those commands memorized, but there are so many guides out there for doing this. I think I started with the gentoo gpg guide [http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gnupg-user.xml http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gnupg-user.xml]. Anyway, you're correct -- this is one of the reasons pass uses GPG.
