## Change PIN ## Change PIN
Your Yubikey has 2 PINs: The user PIN, which is used for end-user functionality such as signing and encryption and an admin PIN which is required for updating your information on the Yubikey. Entering the user PIN incorrectly three times consecutively will cause the PIN to become blocked. 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.
Name|Default Value 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.

PIN|`123456`
Admin PIN|`12345678`
PUK|`12345678`
CCID-mode PINs can be up to 127 ASCII characters. They have to be at least 6 (PIN) or 8 (PUK) ASCII characters. See the GnuPG documentation on [Managing PINs](https://www.gnupg.org/howtos/card-howto/en/ch03s02.html) for details. Name | Default Value | Usage
-----------|---------------|-------------------------------------------------------------
PIN | `123456` | descrypt, authenticate (SSH)
Admin PIN | `12345678` | reset *PIN*, change *Reset Code*, add keys and owner information
Reset code | _**None**_ | reset *PIN* ([more information](https://forum.yubico.com/viewtopicd01c.html?p=9055#p9055))
First set your admin and user PINs: 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.

## Change PUK The number of retry attempts can be changed with the following command, documented [here](https://docs.yubico.com/software/yubikey/tools/ykman/OpenPGP_Commands.html#ykman-openpgp-access-set-retries-options-pin-retries-reset-code-retries-admin-pin-retries):
The PUK (Pin Unlock Key) can be used to reset the PIN if it is ever lost or becomes blocked after the maximum number of incorrect attempts (default 3). The default PUK is `12345678`. If the PUK is also entered incorrectly three times, the key is permanently irrecoverable. You can set your PUK to the same as your daily PIN, giving you a total of 6 attempts. ```bash
ykman openpgp access set-retries 5 5 5
```console
ykman piv change-puk
Enter your current PUK:
Enter your new PUK:
Repeat for confirmation:
New PUK set.
``` ```
