                          How can I import an existing OTR key (i.e. from another Pidgin instance) into Pidgin (here version 2.10.9) with installed pidgin-otr plugin?

I tried just copying ~/.purple/otr.private_key and ~/.purple/otr.fingerprints to the corresponding directory for the new user account, but there is no effect. Pidgin tries to generate a new key for the account.
