While attempting to work through and reset things I got into a situation where it was not using up the last pin attempt trying to protect me from myself, which is quite kind. The error message is of the form:
$ pivy-tool sign 9a
asdf
Enter PIV PIN for token 5D7E5122:
pivy-tool: insufficient PIN retries remaining (1 left)
When this was happening I didn't realize that the pin I was entering was being ignored and the operation was aborted. I realize I should have probably put that together with the insufficient PIN retries remaining. It may help to mention the use of -f or to be a little more explicit that we're not attempting to do anything with this.
