Hello everyone
I have recently bought a Nitrokey 3 NFC, I have several doubts (I have tried in MAC OSX and Linux UBUNTU, same problems)
1.- When I run nitropy nk3 test --pin 1234567, I receive this result and I don’t know if it is correct (in BOLD):
xxxxxxxxx@MBP-dxxxxxx ~ % nitropy nk3 test --pin xxxxxxxx
Command line tool to interact with Nitrokey devices 0.4.45
Found 1 Nitrokey 3 device(s):

2.- Other problem is with PGP:
gpg --card-status
gpg: selecting card failed: Operation not supported by device
gpg: OpenPGP card not available: Operation not supported by device
All apps are in the last versión available, I have searched in FAQ and the solutions don´t solve the 2nd problem
Thanks in advance
Ok, thanks for your reply, but the other problem any suggestion?

Thanks for your answers but I don’t understand why I have the same problem with gpg on three different operating systems, MAC OSX, Linux Ubuntu and Tail OS, every time I execute the command:
gpg --card-status
gpg: selecting card failed: Operation not supported by device
gpg: OpenPGP card not available: Operation not supported by device
Thanks, but it very complicated for me, I bought Nitrokey thinking that it would be easier to configure, but I see that I have to be an advanced programmer and install applications, some of which are not stable, to be able to make it work. I think this is not available to everyone, I chose Nitrokey because it was open source, but maybe I regretted it and should have bought a Yubikey…
I have installed Kleopatra on a PC with Windows 11, bored that NitroKey does not work on MAC or Linux and it doesn’t work either, I connect Nitrokey to the USB port and Windows detects it as an “unknown card” then I open Kleopatra and it doesn’t recognize the NitroKey 3 either. that I give it to recharge.
In Linux, every time I try to install an app for it to work, it asks me to install other dependencies and those others too, total a loop…
I’m already a little tired of this being so complicated, I don’t know if this device is defective or if we have to study engineering to handle it…
I am really sorry for wasting my time and money.
Thanks for your help
Greetings
I’m experiencing the same issue with a new bought Nitrokey. The output of opengpg-tool -C with a Nitrokey 3A NFS inserted is:
Using reader with a card: Nitrokey Nitrokey 3 [CCID/ICCD Interface] 00 00
Failed to connect to card: Card is invalid or cannot be handled
error: failed to connect to card: Card is invalid or cannot be handled
Aborting.
When I insert a Yubikey, the output of opengpg-tool -C is:
Using reader with a card: Yubico Yubikey NEO OTP+U2F+CCID 00 00
AID: d2:76:00:01:24:01:02:00:00:06:03:81:14:60:00:00
Version: 2.0
Manufacturer: Yubico
Serial number: 03811460
Therefor, I assume the problem is with the Nitrokey.

This appears to be a problem that has already been reported on this forum.
You can find instruction for a fix here. We are working on making this state recoverable with the stable firmware.
Could you please describe the actions you took with the device that lead to it being in this state? This is not a state that should normally happen.
Did you attempt to factory-reset your device before it got into this state?
Thanks, the problem has been solved. I indeed did attempt to factory-reset the device before it got in this state. If you need any additional information, let me know.
The factory reset operation is in 2 steps. The first step “locks” the device, the second step deletes everything before re-enabling the device. This is how the standard is designed.
Both operations are normally done right after each other, but if for some reason the second is not done, the devices gets in a sort of “intermediary” state.
There is currently a bug with the 1.6.0 firmware where if the device is disconnected while in this state, the second step will not work. A fix is on the way.
Did you unplug the device during the factory reset, or did the factory reset just fail without reason?
If it failed without reason, we probably have a second bug to look for.
Most probably I was impatient and unplugged the Nitrokey before step 2. If I remember correctly, I was asked to touch the Nitrokey but there was a timeout / nothing happened.
