## Set Trust Levels
|
||||
|
||||
Here are common trust levels for basic use:
|
||||
|
||||
- `unknown` - No trust assigned (default)
|
||||
- `full` - You trust this person to sign other keys
|
||||
- `ultimate` - Your own key
|
||||
|
||||
Perform the following steps to change the trust level for a key.
|
||||
|
||||
1. List the keys and identify the key ID (KEYID).
|
||||
|
||||
gpg --list-keys
|
||||
|
||||
2. Replace `KEYID` with the key ID to edit.
|
||||
|
||||
gpg --edit-key KEYID
|
||||
|
||||
3. Type `trust` and press [ENTER].
|
||||
|
||||
4. Type the number for the desired trust level and press [ENTER].
|
||||
|
||||
5. Type `quit` to exit.
