This is dumb. Proton encrypts your private keys with your password.
Just upload the key to your encrypted proton account like you're supposed to, and let them take care of the signing/encryption/etc.
Can you eli5 this please?
Proton offers a service where they hide all your messages for you, but in a way they can't even see. This person is complaining that they can't hide their messages from proton in a different way that they're likely to screw up.
