+ <p>When your key expires, it becomes invalid. This means:</p>
+
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p>It can no longer be used to encrypt and decrypt messages.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>It cannot sign other keys or receive signatures from other
+ keys.</p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+
+ <p>Depending on how long you want your key to be valid, you can
+ <link xref="key-expiration-setting#set">set an expiration date</link> for it. By
+ default, <app>Passwords and Keys</app> sets all keys to be valid forever,
+ that is the keys never expire.</p>
+
+ <p>The expiration date on a key can be
+ <link xref="key-expiration-setting#change">changed</link> anytime, even after
+ the key has expired. However, if you want to stop using the expired key, you
+ should <link xref="key-delete">delete</link> or
+ <link xref="key-disabling">revoke</link> it.</p>
+
+ <note style="info">
+ <p>If you have any messages encrypted with an expired key, you must change
+ the expiration date on the key to decrypt such messages before deleting or
+ revoking it.</p>
