Research direction
The issue asks for a backup feature for the private key. Check the repository's main source files (e.g., src/) for how keys are generated and stored. Look for any existing export or backup functionality. The comment on the issue may provide context. Consider using the OpenPGP.js library to implement a function that exports the private key to a file.
