Hi,
(rather obvious problem but can't find it in the archives -- sorry
if I overlooked)
Our GemPC pinpad reader automatically displays 'x remaining PIN tries'
before asking a PIN.
Guess the reader issues a "Verify PIN" APDU with empty PIN buffer for this?
It's a nice feature for cards that support this APDU; but e.g. with the
Belgian eID card this APDU results in a failed PIN verification.
(So if you had only 1 remaining PIN try left, it will block your card..)
Do more readers have this feature? Is there a way to turn it off?
Thanks,
Stef
