Well, I am starting to put my binaries also on GitHub, in the respective
repositories. That allows one then to download the programs, for
temporary usage.

 
Or perhaps install KeePassXC that can use a binary file as part of a
complete key, some image somewhere, like a company logo, an mp3 file or
whatever. Store your GPG private key in a KeePassXC container and lock it
with a long key and that binary file.

I must admit I can't follow you, nor do I use GPG (I use modern 'age',
available at GitHub :-)).

In case of my GitHub binaries. Argon2id is stored there, so users can
then use, under Windows, the program along with a an additional download
of GNU's coreutils 'date', for Windows, to get an even stronger encryption
key to memorize, than with 'date' only.
