+<title>Where are my subkeys listed?</title>
+
+ <p>You can check the contents of a keypair to see the properties of a
+ subkey.</p>
+
+ <steps>
+ <title>To see all the <em>subkeys</em> in a keypair:</title>
+ <item>
+ <p>Select the <em>GnuPG keypair</em> of your choice from the list.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Right click on the key chosen in the previous step and select
+ <guiseq><gui>Properties</gui><gui>Details</gui></guiseq>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>If the <gui>Subkeys</gui> section is not expanded, expand
+ it.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Out of the two keys listed, the first one is your master key and
+ all the other keys that follow it are your subkeys.</p>
+ <note style="bug">
+ <p>This is a bug. When you create a new public cryptography key and
+ check the <gui>Subkeys</gui> section, you will see two subkeys listed
+ even though only one is created by default. This is because
+ <app>Passwords and Keys</app> lists all the keys in the keypair in
+ the <gui>Subkeys</gui> section instead of listing only the subkeys.
+ So, the master key is also listed under <gui>Subkeys</gui> even
+ though it is not one.</p>
+ </note>
+ </item>
+ </steps>
+
+ <note style="info">
+ <p><app>Passwords and Keys</app> stores your keypairs under
+ <gui>GnuPG Keys</gui> if you have enabled the
+ <guiseq><gui style="menu">View</gui>
+ <gui style="menuitem">By Keyring</gui></guiseq> option. While signing, you
+ only need to select the keypair, <app>Passwords and Keys</app>
+ automatically chooses the master key for signing.</p>
