Ability to enter U2F via paste

[sinkr]

Hello, and apologies if this is a naive or impossible request.

I have a YubiKey Neo, and in conjunction with the AuthLite iOS app, I can perform a NFC touch of my YubiKey Neo to my iPhone, and via clipboard sharing, I can paste the string generated in and authenticate to Google this way, without having to plug the device in, which is a pain since newer Macbooks have USB-C and the Neo only comes in USB-A.

The ask here, would it be possible to allow the string to be pasted in, in lieu of actually having the YubiKey plugged into my USB port?

Thanks for the great auth utility!

I am not confident that string is what you're hoping for. I would wager that's one of YubiKey's extra authentication types. When you press the button when there is no challenge present, it may perform some default action - and if you're looking to customize that behavior, you can use Yubico's Personalization Tools.

Looking at Yubico's Documentation, during a U2F authentication, there is a challenge-response communication between the server and the device.
