It seems you are new to gopass. Do you want to run the onboarding wizard? [Y/n/q]: Y

Error: failed to run onboarding wizard: failed to init local store: failed to read user input: no useable private keys found

The gpg key was imported from another computer.

I suspect that the trust is not set correctly for the key. Trust levels full or ultimate should work afair.

[sevenmaxis]

You're right, I changed the trust level to ultimate and gopass accepted this key

Just had same problem, it fixed it.

Would be nice if the error message in the CLI pointed to that direction

For those arriving here and still running into this issue, maybe with a Keybase account and/or a Yubikey, if you have several public keys that have been uploaded to Keybase or another keyserver using the same email address but some of them have expired, if you do gpg --edit-key yourEmail@domain gpg>trust 5 (for ultimate) you are probably NOT editing the correct key. After you run gpg --card-edit gpg> fetch (if you have a Yubkey and uploaded to Keybase), you need to run gpg --list-secret-keys and using the portion after the 0x of the UNEXPIRED/currently valid key (sec# if using a Yubikey or in gpg --list-keys after the 0x in the pub line), then run gpg --edit-key 0123456789ABCDEF and run gpg> trust 5 on this specific key, and you shouldn't get the error anymore.

Oddly enough I was able to use the GPG key for SSH and Git cloning by just trusting the email address, but in order to get gopass to like it I had to specify the correct key and trust it specifically.

Just hit this issue. It's a very confusing error.
