Description bart 2010-12-30 14:48:41 UTC 
In seahorse 2.30.1:

-go to "my personal keys tab"
-select key
-go to properties
-select "change passphrase"
-type old phrase
-type new phrase

In my opinion seahorse should ask to retype the passphrase at this point, otherwise a lot of data/backups could become unreadable with just one typo!

What kind of key was it? And do you know if a GPG agent is doing the prompting? I'd be able to tell from a screenshot of the password prompt.

It was a private PGP key. (BTW isn't that a typo in the properties window? Shouldn't it say GPG? I created the key with seahorse)

    When changing a PGP key's passpharse, ask for confirmation.
