The Chief Product Officer at Yubico thinks "long passwords" offer little security. 2ee75ee4e4b359576257fc7d3bfc5ec75d358f10e17caf9e668e09cc032af36d That is the SHA256 of the 76-character passphrase to my master backups, plus '!'.

I never said that, and I think it's unfair to mischaracterize our discussion. What I said is that average entropy of user passwords today is somewhere around 40-50 bits. Wrapping with those passwords is ineffective against modern attacks.

You said that afterwards :-) The fact is, properly long passwords *do* provide significant cryptographic security, which is why key wrapping is still a good idea.

It's also true that key wrapping would've made that bug that you guys had with not checking PINs *at all* on the OpenPGP applet impossible, because no PIN = no key.
