I'd like to transfer my Vault with all my passwords to a new computer, but I'm at a loss on how to do that.

I couldn't find any information about the Vault. Could someone please point me to a description, or outline the steps necessary? Maybe it is sufficient to copy some files?

Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, my .config/plasmavaultrc is missing from my backup, or it never existed in the first place.

Since I used GPG encryption instead of the "native" CryFS solutions my hope is that at least the encrypted entries still exist somewhere, but unfortunately I have no clue.

Then you have to add the entry manually like described in the post and change cryfs to encfs or whatever you did use. If unsure, just create a new vault with the settings you use and copy the entry for your existing one. There should be an information in the folder where the vault ist, like the mentioned config file for cryfs. Look it up with `ls -lha` in case those files are hidden.
