Hints / FAQ

The pictures are still showing version 2.1 of the OpenPGP card. 

After three wrong PIN entries the card will lock itself and must be unlocked using the admin PIN. After another three false attempts using the admin PIN the card will be permanently locked and only be unlocked with a card reset. This will reevocably destroy all data stoerd on the card - thus also all keys!

The current stable version of GnuPG (2.2.x and even some of the 2.1
versions) feature a factory reset command:
$ gpg --card-edit
gpg> admin
gpg> factory-reset

CAUTION: All data will be lost!
