## Update the Discourse account
Log in to the discourse instance website and add the following text to your **About me** (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
```

After posting, copy the link to your profile page (it should end with your **/u/USERNAME**).

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

Enter the notation (make sure to replace PROFILE_URL with the link to the profile copied above):
