About

This application provides an easy way to perform the most common configuration tasks on a YubiKey.

The current version can:

- Display the serial number and firmware version of a YubiKey

- Configure a FIDO2 PIN

- Reset the FIDO Applications

- Configure the OTP Application. A YubiKey have two slots (Short Touch and Long Touch), which may both be configured for different functionality. This tool can configure a Yubico OTP credential, a static password, a challenge-response credential or an OATH HOTP credential in both of these slots.

- Manage certificates and PINs for the PIV Application

- Swap the credentials between two configured slots

- Enable and disable USB and NFC interfaces
