YubiKey
-
Hello.
Has anyone been able to use a YubiKey on Ubuntu Touch?
How could this be done? -
@Vlad-Nirky use it in what sense? It should show up as a keyboard device. But I'm not sure if it works as a FIDO key etc in the browser. Fairly certain it doesn't. Maybe if it passes through to Waydroid, it could work in Chromium or Firefox?

Currently, with my Linux PC, I mainly use it as hardware key for KeePassXC.
I know it has NFC capabilities (YubiKey 5 series), so it could be used in the same context or to unlock the session or memory encryption.
I'm just curious to know if other users of this device use it in any way under UT. -
@Vlad-Nirky I asked about this in the ubports Matrix channel some time ago, because of course I want to implement the Yubikey challenge-response thing for KeePassRX (it's supported by the underlying Rust library). I was told the OS doesn't have full integration yet, at the OS level. But as a disclaimer, I didn't actually bother trying it myself yet lol.
The Yubikey WILL be picked up as a USB device, at least, if plugged in. It shows up as an HID keyboard to make use of the pre-programmed typed password feature thingy of Yubikeys. I don't know if any of the other features of Yubikeys would work yet, though. One way to find out...
