Modifier le PIN de l’utilisateur et de l’administrateur#

PIN de l’utilisateur#

The user PIN is at least 6-digits long and is used to get access to the content of the Nitrokey. This is the PIN you will use a lot in every day use e.g. for decrypting messages, for unlocking your encrypted storage (NK Storage only) etc.

Tu peux modifier le code PIN de l’utilisateur avec l’appli Nitrokey si tu utilises une Nitrokey Pro ou une Nitrokey Storage. Dans l’application Nitrokey, ouvre “Menu -> Configurer -> Modifier le code PIN de l’utilisateur” pour ouvrir la boîte de dialogue permettant de modifier le code PIN.

The user PIN can have up to 20 digits and other characters (e.g. alphabetic and special characters). But as the user PIN is blocked as soon three wrong PIN attempts were done, it is sufficiently secure to only have a 6 digits PIN. The default PIN is 123456.

PIN administrateur#

The admin PIN is at least 8-digits long and is used to change contents/settings of the Nitrokey. That is to say after initializing the Nitrokey you probably won’t need this PIN too often (e.g. if you want to add another password to the password safe of the Nitrokey Pro or Nitrokey Storage).

Tu peux changer le PIN administrateur avec l’appli Nitrokey si tu utilises une Nitrokey Pro ou une Nitrokey Storage. Dans Nitrokey App, ouvre “Menu -> Configurer -> Modifier le PIN administrateur” pour ouvrir la boîte de dialogue permettant de modifier le PIN.
