Yubikey Neo N - New U2F mode

I have a Yubikey Neo N which I'm testing for U2F support

Using the yubikey-neo-manger from AUR I switched over to U2F mode and ran a successful test using the online U2F test service on Yubico.

*However*, I had to launch Chrome as root to do this. There is a permissions issue with Chrome being able to access the Yubikey USB hardware.

I'm looking for advice on how to correctly enable permissions here.

  • polkit?

  • udev rule? Simply changing permissions to full ugo +rx on the usb device does not enable chrome access to the device while running as a normal user

  • groups? (i've tried the basics such as adding my user to storage, uucp groups but no results)

I suspect there is a polkit method of doing this but I'm not sure.

Thanks for any insight.

Re: Yubikey Neo N - New U2F mode

Update: I have it working right now but I'm not convinced that this is the best method.

1. Created the "plugdev" group (is this current best practice? Is it outdated? Added my user to that group.

2. Added the udev rule as listed on github here: https://github.com/Yubico/libu2f-host/b … -u2f.rules
