I do wish they’d add better support for the mac with a key. I know it’s a little separate, but I’d really like to lock down my max with my yubikey(s).


Can't you sign in using the smart card part?

You can but it’s key + pin OR password, not key + pin + password. I’ve tried a bunch of different setup configurations and can’t get it to work as a true 2FA like it should.

I did get it set up correctly at some point but an OS upgrade wiped the settings. I’ll have to try it again, but the path for setup isn’t as easy as it seems.


You might be able to using PAM. Something to look into, hopefully you can still use these guides with the latest macOS: https://developers.yubico.com/yubico-pam/MacOS_X_Challenge-R...


Ok I’ll check it out!
