Open https://launchpad.net/~/+editpgpkeys and copy the entire set of numbers
and letters to the right of Key fingerprint = into the text box on the
web page. Click Import Key on the web page. Launchpad then uses this
fingerprint to check the Ubuntu key server for the key that you uploaded
earlier.


You are sent an encrypted email and asked to confirm the key import. You
need to use an email client that supports OpenPGP encryption and enter the
passphrase you created when you created the key in order to read this email.
If you do not have an email reader that supports OpenPGP, you can also
perform this step at the command line by typing gpg and copying/pasting the
text of the email into the terminal window before pressing Enter.


Follow the directions in the email to complete this step.


Uploading Your SSH Key to Launchpad

Open https://launchpad.net/~/+editsshkeys. Also open
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub in a text editor. The contents of this file are the
public part of your SSH key, so it is safe to share it with Launchpad. Copy the
contents of the file and paste them into the Add an SSH Key text box on the
web page. Then click Import Public Key.
