gpg and multiple email addresses [solved]

matthew · 08:03 PM

I have an openPGP key created with gpg in the manner described in this wiki page. It was created using one email address, however I have a second email address that I would like to add to that key rather than creating a second key.

I noticed the wiki page says this is possible (didn't know that) near the end of the "Using GnuPG" part.

Quote:

You can add extra e-mailaddresses to the key later.

How would I go about doing that?

"If you have several email addresses that you would like to use with this key, you can run gpg --edit-key YOUR_ID and then use the adduid command. It will ask you for the name, email and comment of the second ID you will be using."
