  <title>Retrieve remote keys</title>

  <p>You can retrieve someone's public GnuPG key from the Internet and store
  it in <app>Passwords and Keys</app>.</p>

  <steps>
    <title>To retrieve a remote key:</title>
    <item>
      <p>Select <guiseq><gui style="menu">Remote</gui>
      <gui style="menuitem">Find Remote Keys…</gui></guiseq>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Enter information about the key you wish to retrieve in the field
      provided. Details like key ID or the key owner's email address give more
      accurate results than the name of the key owner.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Press the <gui style="button">Search</gui> button.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>From the list of search results, select the key you want to import,
      right click on it and select <gui style="menuitem">Import</gui>.
      Alternatively, you can also press the <gui style="button">Import</gui>
      button present at the top of the dialog after selecting the key.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <p>The imported key will be listed in the <gui>GnuPG keys</gui> keyring.</p>

  <note style="tip">
  <p>If you cannot see the retrieved key, please select
  <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Show any</gui></guiseq>.</p>
  </note>

  <note style="tip">
    <p>If you want more information about a key, before importing it, select
    it, and press the properties button found at the top of the dialog.
    Alternatively you can also right click on the key and select
    <gui style="menuitem">Properties</gui>. This opens a new window that
    displays information like the key ID, key fingerprint, level of trust,
    owner's name, etc.</p>
