Description
Say I have an email I am writing in Inbox, or a comment on a website where I claim to be a myself, I have to
- Copy my message
- Go to keybase
- Paste the message in keybase
- Sign the message with my passphrase
- Copy the output from keybase
- Enter the signed message into wherever I was typing them
It would be nice if part of this can be skipped. I'd like to have it accessible from my browser, by doing the following:
- Write a message on a website
- Select the text
- Right click, which now shows a Keybase menu
- Click sign
- Enter my passphrase
On an accepted passphrase, the message is signed and then automatically replaced, thus simplifying the process of using pgp on the web.
This can also be done for encrytion and decryption, by adding seperate buttons in the dropdown menu.
