<title>How to retrieve remote keys?</title>
+ <p>You may want to import the <em>Public keys</em> of people you frequently
+ communicate with to make it easier to encrypt messages to them.
+ <app>Passwords and Keys</app> helps you to import keys when you have specific
+ information about the key, like its key ID or the name or email address of
+ its owner.</p>
+
+ <steps>
+ <title>To retrieve a remote key:</title>
+ <item>
+ <p>Select <guiseq><gui style="menu">Remote</gui>
+ <gui style="menuitem">Find Remote Keys…</gui></guiseq>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>In the new dialog that opens up, type in any information about the
+ key you wish to retrieve, in the text box next to the
+ <gui>Search for keys containing</gui> label. Details like key ID, or
+ the key owner's email address give more accurate results than the name
+ of the key owner.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>You can additionally check which key servers must be searched in
+ order to find the key you are interested in by clicking the small
+ <gui>+</gui> next to <gui>Where to search</gui> and checking the key
+ servers you are interested in. All the key servers are checked, by
+ default.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>When you have specified enough information, click
+ <gui style="button">Search</gui>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>You will be presented a list of keys that are relevant search
+ results. Select the key of your choice from the results and click the
+ <gui style="button">Import</gui> button present on the toolbar to
+ import the key into your keyring or click the
+ <gui style="button">Properties</gui> button to see the properties of
+ the key, like the key ID, key fingerprint, level of trust, owner's
+ name, etc. You can also right click on the key and select
+ <gui style="menuitem">Import</gui> or
+ <gui style="menuitem">Properties</gui>.</p>
+ </item>
+ </steps>
