**Important** The `cache-ttl` options do **not** apply when using YubiKey as a smart card, because the PIN is [cached by the smart card itself](https://dev.gnupg.org/T3362). To clear the PIN from cache (equivalent to `default-cache-ttl` and `max-cache-ttl`), unplug YubiKey, or set `forcesig` when editing the card to be prompted for the PIN each time. **Important** The `cache-ttl` options do **not** apply when using YubiKey as a smart card, because the PIN is [cached by the smart card itself](https://dev.gnupg.org/T3362).

Neither rotation method is superior and it is up to personal philosophy on identity management and individual threat modeling to decide which one to use, or whether to expire Subkeys at all. Ideally, Subkeys would be ephemeral: used only once for each unique encryption, signature and authentication event, however in practice that is not really practical nor worthwhile with YubiKey. Advanced users may dedicate an air-gapped machine for frequent credential rotation.
