If you’re on Linux, you’ll want u2f-hideaway-policy installed to avoid permission issues.

Is this necessary for newer installs? Pretty sure the titan keys and the yubikey I have worked without any special setup on the latest ubuntu.
AFAICT Ubuntu uses a big hack that maintains a list of known U2F tokens rather than detecting whether the device speaks the U2F protocol. u2f-hidraw-policy does the latter, so it’s forward compatible.

I should get it into upstream systemd.
