<title>What is a primary user ID?</title>
<p>When you have multiple user IDs, one of the user IDs is made the primary
user ID. <app>Passwords and Keys</app> will attach the primary user ID by
default with your key information, while encrypting or signing, unless you
explicitly choose another user ID instead.</p>
<steps>
<title>To change the primary user ID in a PGP key:</title>
<item>
<p>Select the <gui>GnuPG keys</gui> keyring from the left side panel.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select the <gui>Personal PGP key</gui> from the list.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Right click on the selected key and select
<guiseq><gui>Properties</gui>
<gui>Names and Signatures</gui></guiseq>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select the new primary user ID from the list and click
<gui style="button">Primary</gui>.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>The user ID will move to the top of the <gui>Names and Signatures</gui>
list to become your primary user ID.</p>
<note style="tip">
<p>Sync your keys after changing your primary user ID to update the remote
copies of your key.</p>
