In plain words
Yubikey-agent is an SSH agent written in Go that integrates YubiKeys for authentication. It allows developers and system administrators to use YubiKeys as security keys for SSH connections instead of traditional private keys. The tool simplifies the process of managing YubiKey-based SSH authentication on systems that support SSH agents, making it easier to add hardware security to SSH workflows.

Integrations are ad hoc, complicated, context-heavy, and either unfriendly to non-technical users or tied to a lock-in of some sort. We‘re experimenting with a command-line tool, Latchkey, that could be used by local agents targeted at non-technical users while avoiding remote intermediaries. As far as we know, this is the only existing approach at the intersection of these two goals. Core…
