> A note on key expiry: setting an expiry essentially forces you to manage your subkeys and announces to the rest of the world that you are doing so. Setting an expiry on a primary key is ineffective for protecting the key from loss - whoever has the primary key can simply extend its expiry period.

[gpg-agent](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#SSH_agent) provides OpenSSH agent emulation. To launch the agent for use by ssh use the `gpg-connect-agent /bye` or `gpgconf --launch gpg-agent` commands.
Depending on how your environment is set up, you might need to add these to your shell `rc` file:

## Requiring touch to authenticate
By default the Yubikey will perform key operations without requiring a touch from the user. To require a touch for every SSH connection, use the [Yubikey Manager](https://developers.yubico.com/yubikey-manager/) (you'll need the Admin PIN):
ykman openpgp touch aut on
To require a touch for the signing and encrypting keys as well:
ykman openpgp touch sig on
ykman openpgp touch enc on
The Yubikey will blink when it's waiting for the touch.
# Troubleshooting

## Yubikey OTP Mode and cccccccc....
The Yubikey has two configurations, one invoked with a short press, and the other with a long press. By default the short-press mode is configured for HID OTP - a brief touch will emit an OTP string starting with `cccccccc`. If you rarely use the OTP mode, you can swap it to the second configuration via the Yubikey Personalization tool. If you *never* use OTP, you can disable it entirely using the [Yubikey Manager](https://developers.yubico.com/yubikey-manager) application (note, this not the similarly named Yubikey NEO Manager).
