Hi,

and sorry for not getting back to you on this bug report earlier.

Now that I am looking at it, I have to admit that I'm a bit 
confused...if one gets the input to the opensc keyscript (or any other 
method for that matter) wrong three times it will give up.

As far as I understood those scripts (I don't have a opensc/openct 
reader so I've never used them), they output keys stored on the 
smartcards, right?

So how would a fallback on a password prompt be possible?

(Note also that we're in the process of making the number of tries 
configurable)
