  <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>

  <steps>

    </item>
    <item>
      <p>In the new dialog, select the key you wish to import. PGP keys end
