I can't find my public key #33
Comments
I'm sorry -- I don't quite understand your issue. You're asking where your public key is stored if you generate a new key? The public key should be stored in the "Friends keys" section. Hm, I realize this might be a somewhat confusing title, but I find that people can have a hard time with things when they're named public keys. Maybe there's a better alternative? The github repository is named gmail-crypt because this is what I originally wanted to call the extension, but the rules for posting to the Chrome Web Store indicate that naming it that way would be frowned upon by Google and likely result in its expulsion from the store. Let me know if that helps. |
I don't understand and anyway I still can't see it. I generate a private Fernando Wermus. Los contenidos de este mensaje, y los archivos adjuntos, son de carácter Important Note: On Sun, Jul 21, 2013 at 8:52 PM, Sean Colyer notifications@github.comwrote:

I just found this ticket because I had the same issue. When I saw @seancolyer 's comment I realized I can find my pubkey and it's id under One possibility is to rename Another solution which maintains the <soapbox> Following that principle, I also recommend renaming the Edit: Moved the soapbox stuff to the bottom and fixed formatting. |
I think that putting the public key next to the private key under "my keys" might make it easier to use. It's clearly visible, and it's in the same place you would go for your private key. |
Note: if you want to add the generated key to your keyring, you need both public and private bits. One more reason to make explicit the connection. |
Hi all,
I want to have my public key, but I can't. I generate the private key and I can see it. I am surprise I can't see my public key.
Actually the help is not saying anything about my public keys:
Welcome to mymail-crypt for Gmail!
Use the "my keys" section to generate a new OpenPGP key, import an existing key, or remove a key from the system. This manages private keys.
Use the "friends' keys" section to import or remove keys from your friends. This manages public keys
Use the "help" section for troubleshooting, and background information.
Make sure that you keep backup copies of all the keys you generate. If they're lost, they're lost.
Before using this extension please read the "help" page and be aware of the security concerns. Also please be aware that the license of this software clearly states this comes WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY.
thanks in advance
ps: one more: It is kind of confusing that the program's name is mymail-crypt and the project is named gmail-crypt. Am I missing something?
