GPG keys on YubiKey can be used with ease to encrypt and/or sign emails and attachments using [Thunderbird](https://www.thunderbird.net/) and [Enigmail](https://www.enigmail.net). Thunderbird supports OAuth 2 authentication and can be used with Gmail. See [this guide](https://ssd.eff.org/en/module/how-use-pgp-linux) from EFF for detailed instructions.
## mailvelope on MacOS
[Mailvelope](https://www.mailvelope.com/en) allows GPG keys on YubiKey to be used with Gmail and others.
On MacOS install gpgme using homebrew:
```console
$ brew install gpgme
```
To allow Chrome to run gpgme:
```console
$ nano ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/gpgmejson.json
```
and paste:
```json
{
"name": "gpgmejson",
"description": "Integration with GnuPG",
"path": "/usr/local/bin/gpgme-json",
"type": "stdio",
"allowed_origins": [
"chrome-extension://kajibbejlbohfaggdiogboambcijhkke/"
]
}
```
Edit the default path to allow Chrome to find gpg:
```console
$ sudo launchctl config user path /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
```
Close Chrome if it is running and reboot your Mac.
Finally install the [mailvelope extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mailvelope/kajibbejlbohfaggdiogboambcijhkke) from the Chrome app store.
