Hi, I have created gpg keys with thunderbird 94.0b1. I need to use those keys with GnuPG. How can I achive this? Keys are not stored in .gnupg directory nor visible by gpg. I tried to export private key backup and import it to gpg but the passphrase I need to provide when using keys is different than the one I'm prompt to provide during exporting back up. Does anyone know how to solve that problem? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong? Thanks from advance

It is not clear to me what exactly you did, and what the actual problem is. Please provide more details.
