Description/Summary

PGP, Keybase, Protonmail

Content

My PGP public key is hosting on my own website: https://impl.dev/keys/aimeez.asc

Keybase and Protonmail use their own ways to generate new keys. Users can download a PGP private key from Protonmail and import it to Keybase. Keybase will generate a new public key from the private key, which means the user will have two public keys with the same private key.

My requirement is to copy/paste the public key to Keybase, but not another new public key. So this isn’t what I need. I keep a Keybase ID though: https://keybase.io/aimeedeer
