- If you receive the error, `Please insert the card with serial number: *` see [using of multiple keys](#using-multiple-keys).
- If you receive the error, `There is no assurance this key belongs to the named user` or `encryption failed: Unusable public key` use `gpg --edit-key` to set `trust` to `5 = I trust ultimately`.
- If, when you try the above `--edit-key` command, you get the error
`Need the secret key to do this.`, you can manually specify trust for the key in
`~/.gnupg/gpg.conf` by using the `trust-key [your key ID]` directive.
- If, when using a previously provisioned YubiKey on a new computer with `pass`, you see the
following error on `pass insert`:
```
gpg: 0x0000000000000000: There is no assurance this key belongs to the named user
gpg: [stdin]: encryption failed: Unusable public key
```
you need to adjust the trust associated with the key. See the above bullet.
- If you receive the error, `gpg: 0x0000000000000000: skipped: Unusable public key` or `encryption failed: Unusable public key` the sub-key may be expired and can no longer be used to encrypt nor sign messages. It can still be used to decrypt and authenticate, however.
