I have been following tutorials for protonmail-bridge --cli including creating and exporting a ProtonMail Bridge key using:
gpg --batch --passphrase '' --quick-gen-key 'ProtonMail Bridge' default default
gpg --export -a "ProtonMail Bridge"
// pass was already installed so that command was skipped
pass init "ProtonMail Bridge"
// then I tried to run protonmail-bridge --cli and get the following errors
root@IHC:~# protonmail-bridge --cli

What the heck am I doing wrong, and how can I fix it? I had it installed and added an account, but it kept not recognizing my keychain helper.
I DO have a paid business account with ProtonMail.

Hi there,
Did you try running pass init <GPG-ID>, where <GPG-ID> is one of your gpg key IDs? You can create a new gpg key gpg --full-generate-key or reuse an existing one that you own, you can use gpg -k to check what keys you already have.
If this does not help, I’ve seen this before reported on the ProtonMail repository here:
I could suggest following the suggestions from the answer to that issue.
Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Bobby
