From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

While Keepass has the ability to use a Yubikey (or similar) as 2FA (masterpassword is still required), this does not work on the mobile (Android) apps I tried. If you can make it work, please let me know!
Other than that: I got my Yubikey working ok on Linux Mint. But somehow the first login often does not work as expected (you have to touch the key). That is why I don't use it anymore as 2FA for computer login.
Yubikeys can work with KeePassDX you just need to install the key driver and have NFC enabled
Also I'm pretty sure you are always supposed to touch the key initially when you use it for things like unlocking your KeePass database and what not
keepass2android also work
I don't have a key yet (which is why I'm asking) and I definitely want it in combination with passwords (they can take the key using force; but they can't take thoughts out of my head just yet).
As for android apps not working with the yubikey: try giving KeePassDX a shot; I got it from F-Droid and it does give me a hardware key field with the option to autofill with "Yubikey challenge-response".
Thanks, I will try again!
