I can see entries but can't create new ones after restoring my backup password-store

[oren]

after my laptop crashed i setup pass on a new laptop but I am not able to create new entries in pass. i can only read. when i tried to generate a new entry i got:

Error: You must run:
    pass init your-gpg-id
before you may use the password store.

gpg -k

/home/oren/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
-----------------------------
pub   rsa4096 2020-02-25 [SC]
      xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
uid           [ unknown] my name <my-email@gmail.com>
sub   rsa4096 2020-02-25 [E]

I assume my id is my email so I did:

pass init my-email@gmail.com

and now i see:

gpg: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx: There is no assurance this key belongs to the named user
gpg: [stdin]: encryption failed: Unusable public key
Password encryption aborted.

Please directly open a discussion for things that are not directly about APS.

You're seeing this because your key is not trusted, and you need to do gpg --edit-key <key id>, followed by typing trust and 5 to ultimately trust it.
