Description

Instead of receiving some "you must fill in this field" error, if you try to upload an empty GPG key you will receive an error that says "cannot call split() method of undefined" or something like that.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by attempting to upload an empty public GPG key, then locate the upload validation and error-handling entry point. Done means the empty input is rejected with a clear required-field message instead of the split() error.
