+
+ <title>Add a user ID to an existing key</title>
+
+ <p>A key can have multiple user IDs. This is helpful when you want to
+ communicate with several people and one of them does not recognize, say, the
+ email address in your user ID. This person may not want to import your
+ <em>Public key</em> since it contains information that they do not know. In
+ such scenarios, if you do not want to create a new key or edit the existing
+ user ID, you can attach a new user ID to your key. This also saves you the
+ trouble of managing a lot of keys and remembering different passphrases.</p>
+
+ <steps>
+ <title>To add an extra user ID:</title>
+ <item>
+ <p>Select the <em>PGP key</em> of your choice from the list.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Right click on the key and choose
+ <guiseq><gui>Properties</gui>
+ <gui>Names and Signatures</gui></guiseq>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Click the <gui style="button">Add Name</gui> button to add a new
+ user ID.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>In the new dialog that opens up, fill the correct details for
+ the new user ID, like <gui>Full Name</gui>, <gui>Email Address</gui>
+ and <gui>Key Comment</gui>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>You will be asked to enter the passphrase you used while creating
+ the key. Enter the correct passphrase and click
+ <gui style="button">OK</gui> to finish.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Your new user ID will now be listed under <gui>Names and
+ Signatures</gui>.</p>
+ </item>
+ </steps>
