Yubikey with libfido works beautifully.

>As for Yubikey... I used it for a while as a keyboard emulator to generate a string to prepend to my corporate laptop password that had insane strength requirements.

Wtf? Tell me you don't know how to use a yubikey without telling me you don't know how to use a yubikey.

Lol. I'm pretty sure everyone has a coworker that has accidentally "keyboard emulated" their OTP into a public slack message.
