It's called the "fingerprint". You'll see it in the output of `gpg --list-keys` under your pub.

You can search for keys with the fingerprint with tools like https://keys.openpgp.org

Ah, aka the "ID", right? Got it! Thank you 🤙

The key ID is the lower 32 or 64 bytes of the fingerprint. You can think of the fingerprint as the “full ID”.

You’re welcome. Message me any time!
