So, I decided to use a Yubikey to store my GPG-subkeys. Using the smartcard functionality I can store 3 different subkeys and so thought that I could actually store some multi-usage key (authentication/encryption) there so I can have per-key-encryption for private-data (notably passwords with pass). However, while I can use the main encrpytion key in "slot 2" just fine, I can't decrypt with the "multi"-purpose key stored in the yubikey anymore (yes, I'm using --try-all-secrets).

Is this a limitation of the smartcard standard or just an opioniated choice in GPG or am I doing something wrong? If it's not possible with the smartcard: can I use the PIV-mode of the yubikey for that purpose?


Regards,

Felix
