This is also the error message you get when you specify the wrong
passphrase. Perhaps you mistyped the passphrase when encrypting it? That
way, no matter how correct you type it when decrypting it... you get it.
Hi Peter,
It took me quite some time until I got aware of this. A term like "key"
or "encryption key" would have made it easier for me, the "session" was
somewhat misleading.
I wrote a simple program which generates the most likely variation of my
passphrase, such as omitting single characters, changing upper/lower
case and trying the neighbors of each character on the keyboard, but
without success. So I probably will follow your hint about existing tools.
Thanks a lot for your answer.
