Gnome keyring automatic unlock fails when YubiKey is plugged in

Hi,

I have setup Gnome keyring (package gnome-keyring) successfully with LightDM.
This means Gnome keyring is unlocked after login.
I followed the instructions in the wiki and installed package seahorse, created default keyring etc.

I use Gnome keyring only for authentication of Nextcloud Desktop client (package nextcloud-client with relevant Nextcloud server.

Again, this works w/o problems.

In addition, I setup a YubiKey for OpenPGP and SSH authentication following the instructions in wiki.
And this works w/o problems, too.

However, when I plugin the YubiKey before I login and authenticate the LightDM session, the Gnome Keyring is not unlocked automatically.
Instead I need enter the key, that is equal to my user password, manually.

I don't understand why and how YubiKey prevents the automatic unlock of Gnome keyring.

Can you please advise how to analyse and fix this issue?
