# GPG Keys
|
||
|
|
GPG keys are a way to verify who you are online.
|
||
|
|
They can be integrated with git and dev tools such as Jetbrain's IDE's
|

## Troubleshooting
|
||
|
|
### Forgejo GPG verification failure
|
||
|
|
If you are trying to verify a gpg key on Forgejo and it keeps failing it may be because your key has more than one subkey.
|
||
|
|
The solution is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
01. Make a backup of your gpg key.
|
||
|
|
02. Delete all but one subkey
|
||
|
|
* This key must be a signing key
|
||
|
|
03. Run the command Forgejo gives ye
|
||
|
|
04. Restore the original key (if ye desire)
