[*Kleopatra*](https://apps.kde.org/kleopatra/) is a graphical interface to [*GnuPG*](https://www.gnupg.org/), a tool to encrypt and authenticate text and files using the OpenPGP standard.
<p><i>Kleopatra</i> was added in Tails 5.0 (May 2022) to replace the <i>OpenPGP Applet</i> and the <i>Passwords and Keys</i> utility, also known as <i>Seahorse</i>.</p>
<p>The [[<i>Thunderbird</i>|anonymous_internet/thunderbird]] email client allows you to work with OpenPGP encrypted emails. Consider using <i>Thunderbird</i> instead of <i>Kleopatra</i> if you want to exchange encrypted emails.</p>
<p>To store your GnuPG keys and configuration across different working sessions, you can turn on the [[GnuPG|persistent_storage/configure#gnupg]] feature of the Persistent Storage.</p>
