Hello,
I've GnuPG 2.1.12 on my mobile device (without any OpenPGP card) and
generated there a new secret key to encrypt credentials I'm using on
this device. I was a bit surprised reading (after entering a bas
passphrase for testing):
┌┐
│ Please enter the passphrase to unlock the OpenPGP secret
key: │
│ "Matthias Apitz (BQ E4.5 key) "
│
│ 4096-bit RSA key, ID FA46903FD2B8E5E9,
│
│ created 2019-01-07 (main key ID 8F3E3E3C247AB779).
│
│
│
│
│
**> │ Bad Passphrase (try 2 of 3)
│
│
│
│ Passphrase:
__ │
│
│
│
│
└┘
Note: This is not with the PIN of an OpenPGP-card. What would happen
exactly after the 3rd bad value? Destroy of the key or my device? :-)
Thanks
matthias
