Not sure exactly what you are after due to terminology confusion. Would
highly recommend you have a look at the docs for gnupg - there is a
'quick start' doc which will explain a lot.
Essentially, you use a gpg key to encrypt the data. Associated with a
gpg key is a passphrase/password. You have to enter the
passphrase/password before you can use the key.
If you want to change the passphrase associated with a key, you need to
use the gpg utility. If you want to create a new key, you also need to
use the gpg utility.
