* Package name : yubikey-touch-detector Version : 1.11.0-1 Upstream Author : Maxim Baz * URL : https://github.com/maximbaz/yubikey-touch-detector * License : ISC Programming Lang: Go Description : tool to notify you when your YubiKey is waiting for a touch This package provides a tool that can detect when the attached YubiKey is waiting for your touch. It is designed to be integrated with other UI components to display a visual indicator. . By default this tool offers a feed through a socket to other UI integrations and natively supports sending notifications through libnotify to a desktop implementing the freedesktop.org Desktop Notifications Specification. Other integrations might exist for your WM to show a touch indicator natively. The default setup with SSH security keys is to wait for a touch, and not doing so requires additional client and server configuration. However there is zero visual notification, the SSH client just hangs. Similar story with GPG if you enable touch required on the keys. This tool helps making the user aware. It'd IMO be even better if something would draw a prompt over the screen, but here we are. Kind regards Philipp Kern
