I assume Android. How easy is this to set up?

It seems to be a workable option with PGP/GPG, but do you have to plug it in per use rather than leave it in as this post says (to use the onscreen keyboard)?

You can just set "always show virtual keyboard" in accessibility options (at least in in android 8.0+).
I'm not, primarily, an Android user so I wasn't aware of that option. Thanks. I have a USB-A yubikey and just got a laptop with USB-C ports and an adaptor so I guess I'll give this a go on my backup Android phone tonight.
