Doesn’t yubikey have an HID mode where it acts like a keyboard and types a static phrase? You could do something like that for boot. Or possibly more complicated. Idk if modern bootloaders support cooler modes where the key resides on the yubikey.
Comment on Bazzite as an alternative to SteamOS?
Qual@lemmy.world 8 months agoYeah, that would be a little problematic for something that is necessary on the go. Can you not just use a hardware key to prompt the paraphrase every time you boot ?

No idea. But I would even be too lazy to pop in a hardware key. And too paranoid about getting the key stolen along with the Deck.

That later I understand hahahaha. I just keep mine around for unlocking encrypted external hard drive that have been encrypted with a password and the hardware key that is just hidden in a place that only I know about. But then I would need to wait for that or just use Tails OS for the time being.
