Use a YubiKey with Firefox on Pop_OS!
I recommend everyone to use a YubiKey as a second factor authentication method for
increased security. After a fresh installation of Pop_OS!, the YubiKey authentication in
Firefox doesn’t seem to work (I assume the same holds true for Ubuntu and its other derivatives like Linux Mint).
The solution is easy: With a simple sudo apt update && sudo apt install libu2f-udev
, the necessary U2F libraries
are installed and the YubiKey will start to work. Stay safe on the Internet, everyone!
