Hi - I am trying this and it fails on step 02. It asks for a PIN which I assume is the passphrase. Then an internal error and sas it is not in the right format.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure I'm able to help since this is three years old and something may have changed between services. Further, I don't know if it matters on the OS you're running your not.

No worries. I worked out the process now but have contacted GitHub for more assistance. One of the command you used was for a Mac and by using a different one it asked for passphrase.
