Love this guide and having so much value out of my yubikey.

I followed it for myself back in fall when things weren't so automated, and I just helped my friend set up his key today, and while it is nice to be able to copy-paste more commands, one thing that was very useful with the guide then was a pit stop during key generation to run adduid for more emails and names.

I helped him add the extra email out of script when editing the Certify key, but he would not have figured it out without me being there to help.

Thank you for the feedback @angelacastaneda

My impression is the use of additional identities is quite rare for the purposes of this guide. Would you mind sharing more about your context/use case? And how we could make this pit stop more prominent and helpful for users such as your friend?

I'm something of a multicultural guy, so I have different email addresses depending on the language. I also have a leet, hacker email too that I use for git commits, mailing lists, open source stuff in general to separate from the normal, personal email address.

see key here -> FB38 5581 F9E8 58F3 99DE 8DFE 099F 4FAF E6D2 E988

That last use-case was the one that was relevant to my friend and I think a lot of people that wanna do the effort of encrypting with a yubikey but don't wanna have to buy a separate one for another email they might want to use.
