Short key claim form?

Hi itchies,

Is there some semi-obvious place that one can enter a short download-key to claim the key. My issue is that if I hand out cards with free download-keys printed on them (the short, 12 character keys) then I still have to also print or give them the URL. Can they not just go to the itch.io site and find some semi-obvious ("semi" because I can't find it, if it exists) place to just enter the 12 characters on the website to have the game added to their library?

Sorry, I hadn't generated these before and from the article about creating short-form keys I thought that the URL would be something like:

itch.io/get-RANDOMSTUFF?key=1234567890AB

But the RANDOMSTUFF-bit is the actual key which makes the URL significantly shorter than it was in my mind.

I've said it and I'll say it again: I'm stupid.
