Generate a passphrase, which will be used to issue the Certify key and Subkeys.
The passphrase is recommended to consist of only upper case letters and numbers for improved readability. A strong diceware passphrase can also provide equivalent protection.

## Change PIN
The [PGP interface](https://developers.yubico.com/PGP/) is separate from other modules on YubiKey, such as the [PIV interface](https://developers.yubico.com/PIV/Introduction/YubiKey_and_PIV.html) - the PGP interface has its own *PIN*, *Admin PIN*, and *Reset Code* which must be changed from default values.
YubiKey's PGP interface has its own PINs separate from other modules such as [PIV](https://developers.yubico.com/PIV/Introduction/YubiKey_and_PIV.html):
Name | Default Value | Capability
Name | Default value | Capability
-----------|---------------|-------------------------------------------------------------
PIN | `123456` | cryptographic operations (decrypt, sign, authenticate)
User PIN | `123456` | cryptographic operations (decrypt, sign, authenticate)
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))
Entering the *PIN* incorrectly 3 times will cause the PIN to become blocked. It can be unblocked with either the *Admin PIN* or *Reset Code*.
**Warning** Entering the *Admin PIN* or *Reset Code* incorrectly 3 times destroys all GnuPG data on the card.
**Warning** Entering the *Admin PIN* or *Reset Code* incorrectly 3 times will destroy data on YubiKey.
Determine the desired PIN values.
Determine the desired PIN values. They can be shorter than the GnuPG identity passphrase due to limited brute-forcing opportunities. The User PIN should be convenient enough to remember for every-day use.
*PIN* values must be at least 6 characters. *Admin PIN* values must be at least 8 characters. A maximum of 127 ASCII characters are allowed. See the GnuPG documentation on [Managing PINs](https://www.gnupg.org/howtos/card-howto/en/ch03s02.html) for more information.
