Yubikey reset

[TonyStark02]

Hello,

I locked my yubi so i had to reset it.

I exported the cert before that.

After the reset, I reimported the cert but it's impossible to open my database anymore...
Because of a private key problem?

Is there any way to open my database by overriding the key auth?

Hello,
you need to have same private key, so if you had PFX cert file (that contains also the private key with all cert details) in some secure backup it should work.
I did that several times in same scenario as you are facing now or I got new USB Smart card device and it works without any issues. I just took it from backup and imported it to the Smart card and it works, even on multiple different devices.

FYI: I have self-signed certificate.

It can be "overridden" and send to unlock KeePass by modifying the code of the plugin (not possible by default), but you would need to know what the exact hash (like secrete password), that was generated by private key of your certificate in the plugin.
So this is long answer, to your question 😄 The short one is NO 😉
