Yes, that's correct. Anyways, I prefer using the --hidden-recipient for
this purpose. That prevents the disclosure of the communication paths
with pure GPG-Packet analysis.

Simply said you put encrypt-to, with your key-id, in your gpg.conf and when
you do a gpg --recipient yourfriend it encrypts to your friend and also to
you.

gpg - difference --encrypt-to and --recipient

[Gernot Pokorny]

What is the difference between --encrypt-to and --recipient and what are
the advantages and disadvantages of using one over the other, which one
should you use for encrypting your own files and what does the following
mean?

--encrypt-to ... The key specified by name is used only when there are
other recipients given by the user or by use of the option recipient. ...

Re: Unblocking the user PIN does not work with a new PIN

[Robin Krahl]

Hi Peter,

you are right, that was the problem.  If I choose a longer PIN, it is
working as expected.  Thank you!

Re: Unblocking the user PIN does not work with a new PIN

[Peter Lebbing]

Hi,

PINs need to be at least 6 characters long (8 for Admin PIN). Do you
perhaps try to set a too short PIN?

HTH,

Peter.
