Hi
i had to reinstall linux at the weekend and though i can still see my passwords (it asked for the old passwords which i had) in QTPass, it wont let me add new ones or edit old ones.

I am very worried about losing them all.

Is there a safe way to fix the problem? (i am not technical and need step by step advice?)

I'm on Fedora 41 desktop and me too not able to save password using qtpass.
This are 2 error (2 distinct try to edit a psw):

Signature for /home/leonardo/.password-store/familykey//./.gpg-id does not exist.
Signature for /home/leonardo/.password-store/familykey//Leonardo/hosts/net/uffalg/orion/users/.gpg-id does not exist.

notice the double //

If I use the pass command by bash prompt, all work well: read and write without issues.

The key on gnome keyring are good and trusted full

qtpass can read password but cannot write.

on User form, the right key is checked.

on profile form, I have only ones, pointing to /home/leonardo/.password-store/familykey/

The Signing key ID on the profile row is right and is the same that I have choose on user form,
and the same on gnome keyring
and the same on every .gpg-id files

I have one in /home/leonardo/.password-store/.gpg-id and
one in /home/leonardo/.password-store/familykey/.gpg-id
same value (the gnome keyring ID key)
(... pass is working ...)

it is an app bug or my mistake?

best regards,
Leonardo

P.S. How can I give you some useful log?

Sorry. I got nowhere with my problem - i gave up and moved to Bitwarden. It is paid for but it comes with a good desktop software that works well with linux AND a mobile app that talk to each other and keep my passwords safe (from what i can tell) and upto date.
