NAME
       oct-pin - PIN management (change PINs, reset blocked PINs)

SYNOPSIS
       oct pin <-c|--card> [-h|--help] <subcommands>

DESCRIPTION
       PIN management (change PINs, reset blocked PINs)

       OpenPGP cards use PINs (numerical passwords) to verify that a user is
       allowed to perform an operation. There are two PINs for regular
       operation, User PIN and Admin PIN, and one optional Resetting Code.

       The User PIN is required to use cryptographic operations on a card
       (such as decryption or signing).  The Admin PIN is needed to configure
       a card (for example to import an OpenPGP key into the card) or to
       unblock the User PIN.  The Resetting Code only allows unblocking the
       User PIN. This is useful if the user doesn't have access to the Admin
       PIN.

       By default, on unconfigured (or factory reset) cards, the User PIN is
       typically set to 123456, and the Admin PIN is set to 12345678.
