  • Having the same issue on a Mac Studio running MacOS 14.4.1. Have you been able to find a solution to this? I noticed that running the YubiKey Manager software, will make the device to work again without unplugging and reconnecting it.

The suggestion you got on GitHub is probably the easiest way to go for a quick fix: I.e. add a supported USB hub to the system, plug the YubiKey in the USB hub - and if your problem hasn't gone away already, you can use uhubctl to restart the YubiKey.

Apart from that, I would contact YubiKey support and let them know you have this issue with their product.

  • this might be ok, but sadly I do not have a usb hub that allows me to operate the yubikey. if we have a better way of doing this it'll be great

  • I'm not sure what you mean by "usb hub that allows me to operate the yubikey" - I just wanted to be sure that you know that any USB hub should allow you to use a YubiKey. They do not have any special requirements in terms of USB hubs.
