Yubico Authenticator no longer working after 26/02/22 update [Solved]

It seems that the pacman update 26/02/2022 yubikey-manager-1:5.0.1-1-any.pkg.tar.zst broke the Yubikey-manger or at least for me

Program opens correctly but doesn't show the codes

I downgraded to the yubikey-manager-1:4.0.9-3-any.pkg.tar.zst and all is Okay again (# pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/yubikey-manager-1:4.0.9-3-any.pkg.tar.zst)

This is just for info in case anyone else has this problem

If you want help, you need to post more information. Logs? stderr? What commands are you actually running?

If you don't want help, this thread is useless. Downgrading is not a solution.

i can confirm that yubioath-desktop isn't working anymore.

$ yubioath-desktop

EDIT:
the manager and personalization tool seems to connect to the yubikey just fine. keepass works fine too

I sussed this out

I deleted pacman versions and installed Yay  version

Delete the pacman version of yubikey-manager

Install the Yay yubico-authticator

All works fine now

How did you install this? There is no "yay" (I assume you mean AUR) version of yubikey-manager other than yubikey-manager-git, and that is flagged as out of date.

The previous work-around (downgrading yubikey-manager from 5 to 4) also stopped working.

While you can use yubikey-manager-1:5.1.1-1 and yubioath-desktop-5.1.0-3 (AUR) to do web-prompted authentications, yubioath-desktop no longer displays the device's stored keys.

This issue was raised on Github, but the ticket was closed, apparently without resolution.

OK I will check that. Yes, that replacement works! Thanks.
