Setting up a PGP/GPG encryption for your email is a great way to keep your communications private and add an additional layer of security to your account. 

How to create a PGP/GPG key

One popular method for encrypting email is by using the Mozilla Thunderbird email client. The basic steps are:

1. Download and install the Thunderbird client.
2. Go to Account Settings.
3. Click on End-to-End Encryption.
4. Click on Add Key to either add an existing key or to generate a new one.

If you’re a MacOS user, you can also try GPGMail, a GPG plugin for Apple Mail.

Once you've got everything set up, give us your PGP email key (under Settings in your account) and import our keys to your PGP program.
