Hi, I've just spent half an hour scratching my head over an issue that should have been simple:
I initialized a new OpenPGP card (v2.1 from Zeitcontrol) and changed the (user) pin. After this, I used the verify command to check whether the pin was working: I put my pin into the pinentry dialog, and verified that the retry count afterwards was still "3 0 3". Still, when I was prompted the pin afterwards I got the error "wrong pin". Strangely enough, the retry counter did not decrease when entering the pin. Entering a different random pin resulted in the retry counter decreasing as it should. [Fast-forward through lots of head-scratching, mild swearing and asking myself whether the card was broken.] In the end the simple truth was that my pin code only had 5 digits, but the minimum length is higher. Yes, I know that I *should* know the minimum pin- code length for my card, and that I *should* use longer pins anyways. Is it possible to issue some kind of diagnostic for this? I.e. either a warning/error message when changing the pin, or at least the "verify" command issuing a warning on an incorrect pin? Btw. my gpg version is 2.2.5.
