### How do I import my current SSH keys, or export my Secretive Keys?
|
|
|
|
The secure enclave doesn't allow import or export of private keys. For any new computer, you should just create a new set of keys. If you're using a smart card, you _might_ be able to export your private key from the vendor's software.
|
|
|
|
### Secretive doesn't work with my git client/app
|
|
|
|
Secretive relies on the `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` environment variable being respected. The `git` and `ssh` command line tools natively respect this, but third party apps may require some configuration to work. A non-exhaustive list of setup steps is provided in the [App Config FAQ](APP_CONFIG.md).

|
### Secretive isn't working for me
|
|
|
|
Please run `ssh -Tv git@github.com` in your terminal and paste the output in a [new GitHub issue](https://github.com/maxgoedjen/secretive/issues/new) with a description of your issue.

### Secretive prompts me to type my password instead of using my Apple Watch
|
|
|
|
1) Make sure you have enabled "Use your Apple Watch to unlock apps and your Mac" in System Preferences --> Security & Privacy:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) Ensure that unlocking your Mac with Apple Watch is working (lock and unlock at least once)
|
|
3) Now you should get prompted on the watch when your key is accessed. Double click the side button to approve:

### Why should I trust you?
|
|
|
|
You shouldn't, for a piece of software like this. Secretive, by design, has an auditable build process. Each build has a fully auditable build log, showing the source it was built from and a SHA of the build product. You can check the SHA of the zip you download against the SHA output in the build log (which is linked in the About window).

|
### I want to build Secretive from source
|
|
|
|
Awesome! Just bear in mind that because an app only has access to the keychain items that it created, if you have secrets that you created with the prebuilt version of Secretive, you'll be unable to access them using your own custom build (since you'll have changed the bundled ID).
|
|
|
|
### What's this network request to GitHub?
|
|
|
|
Secretive checks in with GitHub's releases API to check if there's a new version of Secretive available. You can audit the source code for this feature [here](https://github.com/maxgoedjen/secretive/blob/main/Brief/Updater.swift).

|
### I have a non-security related bug
|
|
|
|
Please file a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/maxgoedjen/secretive/issues/new) for it. I will not provide email support with the exception of the critical security issues mentioned above.
