+ <title>Associate a new user ID with an existing key</title>
- <p>Short introductory text...</p>
+ <p>A key can be associated with multiple user IDs. This is helpful when you
+ want to communicate with several people and one of them does not recognize
+ the email address mentioned in your key properties. This person may not be
+ able to identify your public key since it mentions a different mail ID than
+ the one they know. In such scenarios, if you do not want to create a new key
+ or edit the properties of the existing key, you can add a new user ID having
+ a different set of properties. This also saves you the trouble of remembering
+ and managing a lot of passwords.</p>

+ <title>To add an extra user ID:</title>

+ </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>
