Yubiswitch doesn't notice Yubikey powering back on about yubiswitch HOT 14 CLOSED

Oh, the other interesting thing is how I can get Yubiswitch to power the device back down. I try enabling the Yubikey manually which triggers an error about there not being a Yubikey present on the machine. Then I try again and it just works.

yeah the logic in https://github.com/pallotron/yubiswitch/blob/master/yubiswitch/YubiKey.m could be better... I'll try to find some time to make it better :)
thanks for reporting the problem. I usually don't hit this problem because I leave the yubikey permanently plugged in.

I leave mine in permanently as well. Do you have FDE turned on? That could be the difference, I believe the mac has to fall back to an unencrypted OS to enter your password.

FDE?

from yubiswitch.

Full Disk Encryption. It forces the OS go through some contortions to boot.

I have issues with my YubiKey becoming enabled again (despite the checkbox not being enabled). I notice it when I brush up against it and I paste a OTP into chat. :)

I am running FDE...

from yubiswitch.

+1, FDE here as well.

can you try version 0.9 (which I just pushed) and let me know if you still have similar problems?

from yubiswitch.

have you got a chance to try 0.9?

from yubiswitch.

I just tried 0.9. I can't get the Yubikey to emit an OTP when enabled.

I didn't restart... is that required? I killed the daemon (kill -9 required... it gets hung up) - /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.pallotron.yubiswitch.helper

• (it didn't exit after quitting Yubiswitch, is it supposed to?), but that didn't help.

I've killed the daemon, quit the app, and removed/inserted the Yubikey and I still can't get it to emit an OTP.

weird, it works for me. what yubikey do you have? have you verified that productID and vendorID strings are set correctly in the preferences? you can get the value from the system report (looking at USB section)

shouldn't hang, mine dies when you sent normal SIGTERM signal

(it didn't exit after quitting Yubiswitch, is it supposed to?), but that didn't help.

yeah, helpers usually don't exit with the main application

what do you see in /var/log/system.log? grepping for "yubi"

from yubiswitch.

I have a Nano, the System Information was strange... it just listed the key as 'Composite Device'. After pulling it out and putting it back in a few times and still not working I cleaned the contacts... there was some dirt. It's now showing in SI as 'Yubico Yubikey II' and it's behaving properly.

I've tested by putting the machine to sleep and then touching it - no key was emitted. After enabling and touching a key is emitted.

I think the fix works.

Thanks!

That seemed very close to the classic "have you tried turn it off and on
again?" :D
