Failed to Create SSH-Key

Nitrokeys
1

Hello.

I tryed to create a ssh-key on my NK3 like described in this tutorial.

When I enter this

ssh-keygen -t ed25519-sk -C "mail@mailbox.org"
Generating public/private ed25519-sk key pair.
You may need to touch your authenticator to authorize key generation.
Enter PIN for authenticator: 
You may need to touch your authenticator again to authorize key generation.
PIN incorrect

I Tryed the pin I set for the nitropy nk secret app
But failed.

How can I set the PIN?

Regards

Very simple:
nitropy fido2 set-pin
or

# This will destroy all fido2 data on the key!!
nitropy  fido2 reset
nitropy fido2 set-pin

hello @tuxmaster5000
Thanks!
So the right Pin should be the FIDO2 Pin.

At the moment I got
4 PINS I have to remember.

  • OpenGPG Pin
  • OpenGPG Admin Pin
  • FIDO2 Pin
  • Secrets App Pin

This is confusing for me.
The thing to know here should be the word Authenticator.
I read the man page of
ssh-keygen and found it there.
So for me as a normal linux ( mouse :wink: ) user
it would be nice to get a hint what this command need.

After I tryed the FIDO2 pin I can create the key!
Thanks!
