.TH SQ-KEY-ADOPT "1" "JANUARY 2021" "0.24.0 (SEQUOIA-OPENPGP 1.0.0)" "USER COMMANDS" 5
.SH NAME
sq\-key\-adopt \- 
Binds keys from one certificate to another

This command allows one to transfer primary keys and subkeys into an
existing certificate.  Say you want to transition to a new
certificate, but have an authentication subkey on your current
certificate.  You want to keep the authentication subkey because it
allows access to SSH servers and updating their configuration is not
feasible.
