I'm using pass as my main password manager(which uses gpg2), but since a few days i can't create new keys, I always get the error message:
There is no assurance this key belongs to the named user
[stdin]: encryption failed: Unusable public key
I already set the the trust of my key to ultimate als suggested here
And also checked that my key is not expired. Any suggestions how to fix this or should i get a new key?

do gpg --edit-key <KEY_ID>
and gpg>trust
If you're sure about the authenticity of your key, select the trust level 5.

As i mentioned in my question i already tried this and it didn't resolve my issue. I solved it running pass init again on the directory with my gpg-key – MonoGenerator – 2018-05-25T11:13:35.697

Solved the problem by running:pass init <gpg-id> which reencrypted the existing keys.
Afterwards i was able to decrypt my keys again normaly

I voted to migrate your question to [su]. I think it might be a better fit there. – Tobi Nary – 2018-02-21T15:22:53.367
This is better asked on the pass mailing list. – mricon – 2018-02-21T16:24:15.683
