Post subject:  [Resolved] Yubikey Neo and PGP Applet issue.
Hello,

I created a pgp keypair with my Yubikey as outlined. It seemed to work as far as I knew. Today came the time to actually test it. That said, it's not behaving at all. It seems that the PIN is not being accepted properly. Below is the excerpt of my terminal while working on this. (Encryption and Auth keys edited out as I felt this was unnecessary.)

Notable things:
PIN retry counter at 0.
I unblock it successfully and use a simple password (123456) for this example.
(While not shown here, I can do a "verify" command here and the PIN retry counter will tick down to 2.)
I exit out though to do what I was hoping.
I have a file that a friend encrypted.
It's not taking the password.
Fun times.

Thanks for your time,
Weston

Hello,

The issue was indeed with the Yubikey Neo OpenPGP applet on the device. This is resolved by updating the applet to the latest version. (Keys are lost at this time since import is not supported.)

Thread at the GitHub account regarding this issue.

Regards,
Weston

I am getting the same problem with firmware 3.3.0 and openpgp applet ver 1.0.8.

I tried updating the openpgp applet but i don't know the card manager keys.

I am aware of the security advisory YSA-2015-1, but it's my understanding that it should not affect encryption/decryption.

Is there a way to update the applet or fix this issue?

[Fixed]

I finally resolved the problems by unblocking the pin and changing the pin to something else. (previously i was setting the same pin after unblocking but that did not work.)

I was also getting errors with CHV2 on 'verify' command. I wasn't able to generate new keys and also getting "Conditions of use not satisfied" on some commands and couldn't authenticate SSH sessions or sign other keys... Which lead me to this tutorial http://25thandclement.com/~william/YubiKey_NEO.html that pointed out some similar issues fixed by unblocking the pin.
