<title>Import PGP keys</title>
<p>If you have received a key file by email, you might want to import it into
<app>Passwords and Keys</app>. In most cases, <app>Passwords and Keys</app>
automatically imports PGP keys from your computer. You can also manually
import a particular key, if it has not been imported already.</p>
