How do I use a Yubikey NEO in 14.04 to log into a Google account through Chrome?

Solution 1:

I had your same problem (on ubuntu 16.04), and this worked for me:

Create a new file called /etc/udev/rules.d/50-security-key.rules:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1050", OWNER="root", GROUP="plugdev", MODE:="0660"

Once that file is saved, run

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

and then restart Chrome.

The question is old, but hopefully this will save time to someone else. Source: http://www.sowbug.com/post/131363489376/enabling-yubico-u2f-security-key-on-chrome-for

Solution 2:

I'm using 15.04 above setting up https://www.yubico.com/faq/enable-u2f-linux/

cd /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Yubico/libu2f-host/master/70-u2f.rules

reboot

Then register the key as per normal instructions.
