Quoting from the attached patch:

The secret storage flag wasn't being saved when using smartcard
authentication, resulting in the PIN being stored.

The patch fixes it by storing the flags, but it doesn't clear any stored PIN.

Sorry for missing this. I can't really reproduce what you are seeing. Instead, in my tests if I didn't set the flag the entered password somehow got lost and I always received a final secrets request failed to provide sufficient secrets errors. Anyway, setting the flag somehow seems to fix that too. Applied to master, thanks!
