How do you backup your PGP keys? (feddit.uk)

I'm interested to know whether you have a specific process or tool you use for managing your PGP keys?

I was thinking it'd be great if Lemmy allowed you to use PGP to verify your identity across multiple users on different instances. This made me think I need a good way to make sure I never lose my keys!

I have mine in a Kleopatra keychain for convenience, but I also keep backups in a KeePassXC encrypted database for security. They are essentially text files, so you can treat them the same way as you treat your passwords. I hope this helps.
