Cannot decrypt own passwords; No secret key #580

Describe the bug
Used QtPass to create my secret key as offered at app startup. The creation process hung indefinately (and I foolishly waited over an hour just to see). After that I see gpg: decryption failed: No secret key trying to copy a newly created test password.

To Reproduce

I did this from GNOME on a fresh Arch install before installing seahorse.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install Arch Linux latest kernel
  2. Install QtPass
  3. Start QtPass
  4. Generate GPG key from QtPass
  5. Restart QtPass
  6. Select new GPG key available
  7. Create password
  8. Attempt to decrypt new password

Expected behavior
Key creation does not hang indefinately as it did even after it created the new key. Passwords created using new key can decrypt own passwords via GUI.

Screenshots
n/a

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS/Distribution: Arch 5.15.11-3
  • Version [e.g. 1.2.3]

Additional context
Not sure why related issues are closed. This bug makes the software seem unusable.

Issue caused due to uninitialized pass datastore. Had to do that manually. It should be handled by the app.
