[Solved] Updating my account - The PGP key fingerprint is invalid.

As the title says im trying to update my aur account and getting this  "The PGP key fingerprint is invalid."

I found this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=257585 and this https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_su … entication

So I added the below to this file "~/.ssh/config"

Host aur.archlinux.org
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/aur
  User aur

And executed "ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/aur"

Copied my key SHA256 fingerprint to "PGP Key Fingerprint:" section and still cannot update my account? What am I missing? Throw a dog a bone lol!

SSH isn't the same as PGP.
You need to copy your public SSH key into the correct field on the web page.

Re: [Solved] Updating my account - The PGP key fingerprint is invalid.

Right I understand but I dont know what im doing wrong

Im putting my public key in "SSH Public Key:"

Then when I confim changes and update I get "The PGP key fingerprint is invalid." It seems counter intuitive as "SSH Public Key:" is under "The following information is only required if you want to submit packages to the Arch User Repository." Do I need to generate a PGP Key or something?

I wasn't being 'snarky'. A PGP key is optional, if you don't want one associated with your account then you can just leave that field blank.
