Hi guys,

I got my Yubikey plugged in to my USB. Is it safe? Or should use it only when logging in?

    It should be safe. It only shares the secrets with legit domains. That’s one of the powers of this tech: it won’t share your secrets with something that looks like a legit domain.

        No, some of the functionality is definitely accessible without that, e.g. if you use ykman oath accounts code on Linux to read the TOTP codes you don’t need to click and I seem to recall some of the functionality has a configurable click requirement.
