The "2nd" Key you reference above is the Encryption Sub-Key to the
Main/Signing Key above it.  I believe that the 'Authentication" Flag
_must_ be 'placed' on the Signing Key at the time it is
Generated...there is no reason for the Encryption sub-Key to have any
other Flag.

Many folks have a Main Key with both a Signing sub-Key & the Encryption
sub-Key.  I haven't done it, but perhaps You could add a Signing sub-Key
to your existing Key and add the 'Authenticate' Flag at this time.

BTW: Your Sig on this Post did not Verify.
