Well I've fat fingered my pin during setup so now my brand new ColdCard Q is pretty much useless. Didn't even get to actually use it.
I understand the intent of the security feature of bricking after 14 failed PIN attempts but because of that I feel just one confirmation is not enough.
I think ColdCard needs a third confirm, particularly because I find the keyboard on the ColdCard Q to be highly prone to keypress error even having small to medium sized hands.
A prompt to view pin would be nice too. I'm quite sure I remember my intended pin but I think I had an erroneous keypress.
I'm not trying to throw shade I'm just disappointed with my experience and that's mostly my fault.
