I am trying to import keys when I only have the public key ID and I can't get it to work. I don't have any email addresses but have public keys. I need to know how to import them to my key ring.
Thanks!!

   Hi Meredith,

   simply open GPG Keychain Access, click on Keys in the menubar and then Search for Key (or simply press cmd + f)

   Enter the ID in the search field
   If you find matches simply import them.

   Hope that helps.

   Hi,

   I'm having a similar issue. I've set up my public and private keys and I am trying to locate my friend's public key but his ID, which he knows is correct, will not show up in the search engine.

   @Daniel, could you describe in detail what steps you have taken to add your friends key?

   Maybe a search with his mail address could solve this?

   @Meredith: Was your problem solved?

   Best :)
