<title>Add extra user IDs to a 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>
