[Solved] login with yubico

[oida]

Hi,
i am using debian 12 with Gnome 43.1 on a lenovo notebook. I am also using a ubico ubikey 5C for my some of my accounts and want to use the key for login on my system. i have found something about configuring login with ubuntu but little with debian, but all of them seems a little bit outdated.

So what i want to do with the stick: if the stick is inserted a login should work without password, if here is no stick a "normal" login with password. Also it would be nice to lock the system when removing the stick and unlock if reinserted.

I am worried just to try something out and than have killed my system so hopefully someone has a "step by step" instruction for me.

Thank you in advance and have a good day
Reinhard

Hello,

I have no direct knowledge of the specific device, but a quick search led me to these link:

• Debian | Yubico | Overview

• Debian | Yubico | Compatible Keys

• Debian | Yubico | Setup instructions
  • Debian Setup instructions

Hope this helps.
Let me know.

Hallo,

thank you for the info's. The info on the debian wiki is far outdated and the others from Yubico are not very helpful.

In the meantime i have found a solution, described here :

• Ubuntu Linux Login Guide - U2F

It's not exactly what i was searching for but will do the job.

Thank you for your efforts - all the best
