Correct. You must first copy the *new* public key to the *old* system and re-encrypt the password store to *both* public keys on the *old* system, then transfer the encrypted blobs to the new system.

If you want to continue to use both cards, you will also need to copy the *old* public key to the *new* system and arrange for it to also encrypt the password store to *both* keys. Once that is done, you may use any method to synchronize the encrypted blobs between the systems and you will have your passwords on both systems.

While you are here, this is a good time to remind you to regularly check the list of public keys used with your password store. If Mallory can sneak *his* key onto that list, he will be able to get your passwords!
