key creation: warn users if they are about to create a second key for an email that is already in use / existing
Reported by steve | February 20th, 2019 @ 11:09 AM | in 1.6 (closed)
One of the biggest problems, users are facing is that they accidentally create more than a single key, not understanding the consequences and issues that come with that.
To avoid this from happening, let's add a warning whenever we discover a user is trying to create a new key for an email address which already exists in a valid sec/pub key.
Message for key creation
Title:
A valid key for this address already exists
Message:
The existing key with %@email-address has the following
fingerprint:
%@Fingerprint
Using the same email address in more than one key can lead to
problems and is not recommended.
If you really want to create a new key for this email we suggest to
first revoke that email from the existing key.
Do you really want to create a key with that email now?
Create Key | Cancel (default)
Message for user ID creation
Title:
A valid key with this address already exists
Message:
The existing key for %@email-address has the following
fingerprint:
%@Fingerprint
Using the same email address in more than one key can lead to
problems and is not recommended.
