## Post a Twitter proof message

Log in to [twitter.com](https://twitter.com) and compose a new tweet with the following text (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):

```
This is an OpenPGP proof that connects my OpenPGP key to this Twitter account. For details check out https://keyoxide.org/guides/openpgp-proofs

[Verifying my OpenPGP key: openpgp4fpr:FINGERPRINT]
```

After posting, copy the link to the tweet.

## Update the PGP key

First, edit the key (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):

```
gpg --edit-key FINGERPRINT
```

Get a list of user IDs and find the index of the one to assign the notation to:

Select the desired user ID (make sure to replace N):

```

```

Add a new notation:

```

```

Enter the notation (make sure to update with the link to the tweet copied above):

```

```

Save the key:

```

```

Upload the key to WKD or use the following command to upload the key to [keys.openpgp.org](https://keys.openpgp.org) (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
