Description

Science have moved all my secret keys into my Yubikey, all I use gpg asking me is the pin of my Yubikey.

But the keybase ask me passphrase to unlock the secret key for my device to do any thing related to my account.

Because I have moved my secret keys to smartcard, I have not use these passphrase for a long time, which means that I have forgotten those passphrase.

So, how can I do to let the keybase-cli to use my smartcard and ask for pin, rather than ask for those demand passphrase?

Research direction

Start by investigating the keybase-cli secret-key unlock flow and how it interacts with the user's smartcard and Yubikey. Done would mean the CLI uses the smartcard and prompts for its PIN instead of requesting the forgotten secret-key passphrase.
