after downloading open gpg4usb
2) generate a new key
go to Keys -> Manage Keys -> Keys -> generate new Key
use a long passphrase - the longer the better
for example: thesunismoonerthangreen78521 - or use a password generator
(Remember when selecting a Passphrase "the longer the better")
and safe this passwort- show it to know one- only you should have access to it--
hit ok
--it may take a few minutes till your key is generated--
if your key generation was successfull you will see your name for the key on the right hand side
3) type in your Account Information
anything Important that you want to keep save
4) select your key
5) hit encrypt

all you need is your account name to access the post with your pgp encrypted message
copy the message and post it into gpg4usb and decrypt it with your password.
And there is all your Information!!!
