I have updated to the latest version of GPGtools and uploaded my keys to the new OpenPGP server. I then tried to publish the key, selecting the link on the mail from [email blocked] and the web site replies: "token verification failed". Any ideas why?

(I know this is not one of your tools, but I have nowhere else to turn. If anyone has any ideas what is going on, please let me know.)

   Hi Raven,

   we checked keys.openpgp.org and it seems your email is now verified. Where you able to get this working in the end? If yes, how?

   All the best,
   Steve

   Hi guys, I have exactly the same issue one one of the two encrypted e-mail addresses I use - verified fine on one, the second token verification failed, this after the new switch.

   Hi Graham,

   this message is shown when the link is clicked twice. Thus it is highly likely your key has been successfully been verified, but the "token" is no longer valid as it's been used already.

   We are in touch with the maintainers of keys.openpgp.org and asked if they could enhance the message to make it more understandable.

   Hope this helps,
   Steve

   Glad this is solved for you. I'm closing this discussion. Should you need further assistance or have questions you can re-open this discussion here or open a new one any time.

   You can check if your key was successfully verified anytime, by doing a search via GPG Keychain.

   Best,
   Steve
