## Change PIN
The [GPG interface](https://developers.yubico.com/PGP/) is separate from other modules on a Yubikey such as the [PIV interface](https://developers.yubico.com/PIV/Introduction/YubiKey_and_PIV.html). The GPG interface has its own *PIN*, *Admin PIN*, and *Reset Code*. It is highly encourage that you change at least the *PIN* and *Admin PIN* on the GPG interface.

The GPG interface has its own *PIN*, *Admin PIN*, and *Reset Code* - these should be changed from default values!
Entering the user *PIN* incorrectly three times consecutively will cause the PIN to become blocked and can be unblocked with either the *Admin PIN* or *Reset Code*. Entering the *Admin PIN* or *Reset Code* incorrectly three times consecutively destroys all GPG data. The Yubikey will have to be reconfigured.

PINs/codes can be up to 127 ASCII characters. They have to be at least 6 (*PIN*) or 8 (*Admin PIN*, *Reset Code*) ASCII characters. See the GnuPG documentation on [Managing PINs](https://www.gnupg.org/howtos/card-howto/en/ch03s02.html) for details.
