What it says on the tin! This issue is thematically well suited to the following discussions: https://github.com/elementary/pantheon-agent-polkit/issues/33 elementary/pantheon-agent-polkit#40 elementary/greeter#230 https://github.com/elementary/switchboard-plug-onlineaccounts/issues/89 https://github.com/elementary/files/issues/862 https://github.com/elementary/installer/issues/368 https://github.com/elementary/appcenter/issues/936

Unlike a Yubikey, it is Free Hardware and Free Software, which is mostly manufactured locally (in Berlin, Germany).

Here you can find more general information: https://www.nitrokey.com/ & https://github.com/nitrokey

This integration can also be used to decrypt your hard disks - see LUKS/LUKS2 - or as a solution for Two-factor authentication in the Installer or Switchboard Online Accounts Plug. Integration with Files (to sign, encrypt and decrypt files) and for installing Software with AppCenter it's also very useful.
