Yes. I can access my Fedora account using a Yubikey, from any machine<br>
(Linux or otherwise) that has a USB port.<br>

It doesn't require "Linux support" as such. The Yubikey acts as a USB<br>
keyboard and sends key strokes for the OTP when you press the button.<br></blockquote></div><br>Isn't it rather inconvenient having to connect it to a usb port every time you want to log in? Do you have to disconnect the existing keyboard as well? Or do all keyboards just automatically get used at once?<br>
