-  <p>Short introductory text...</p>
+  <p>A key can be associated with multiple user IDs. This is helpful when you
+  want to communicate with several people and one of them does not recognize
+  the email address mentioned in your key properties. This person may not be
+  able to identify your public key since it mentions a different mail ID than
+  the one they know. In such scenarios, if you do not want to create a new key
+  or edit the properties of the existing key, you can add a new user ID having
+  a different set of properties. This also saves you the trouble of remembering
+  and managing a lot of passwords.</p>
