Title:
creating PGP key should warn about comment field
Status in “seahorse” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: seahorse
When creating a new PGP key with seahorse, it displays a tantalizing
"comment" field without warning newbies that this will become part of
their encryption string.
Steps:
1) Open seahorse
2) File -> New
3) Select "PGP Key"
4) Enter Name, email address, /and comment/
5) Finish rest of steps
What happens? I get a key string like "David Tombs (my stupid comment)
<[email protected]>", where everyone will see my stupid comment.
What should happen: Seahorse should tactfully warn the user like GPG
does:
You need a user ID to identify your key; the software constructs the user ID
from the Real Name, Comment and Email Address in this form:
"Heinrich Heine (Der Dichter) <[email protected]>"
