8.4 Importing Keys 

Keys can be exported to text files. These files contain human-readable text at the beginning and at the end of a key. This format is called an ASCII-armored key.

To import keys:

Click Applications › Utilities › Passwords and Keys.

Click File › Import.

Select a file containing at least one ASCII-armored public key.

Click Open to import the key.

You can also paste keys inside Passwords and Keys:

Select an ASCII-armored public block of text, then copy it to the clipboard.

Click Applications › Utilities › Passwords and Keys.
