SCARD_E_INVALID_CHV
SCARD_E_INVALID_CHV The supplied cardholder verification value, commonly a PIN, was incorrect. Repeated retries can consume the card's retry counter and may lock the credential.
What to do
- Stop automated retry loops and ask for the correct PIN or the issuer's approved unblock procedure.
- Confirm that the application is addressing the correct PIN role; user, administrator, signature, and management PINs can differ.
- If a PIN appears correct but fails consistently, verify the card profile and middleware rather than repeatedly changing domain or certificate settings.
