Hello Stefan,
despite my cooperation with the p≡p foundation, the lack of support for
smart cards and tokens is THE knockout criterion why I do not use
sequoia pgp.
It's a good question what to do if you lose your SC or token.
Basically, it has to be said that you should definitely have a backup of
your key. And you have to be very careful with your SC or tokens.
In principle it is almost the same as losing your credit card or
passport etc. while traveling; you have to provide alternatives (e.g.
multiple smartcards).
regards
Juergen
