To create a printable key, either paste the contents of your keyfile or 
a key export in the text field below, or select a key export file.

To create a key export use

borg key export /path/to/repository exportfile.txt

If you are using keyfile mode, keyfiles are usually stored in 
$HOME/.config/borg/keys/
