Yubi Key - Linux

[PixL]

So i've just ordered myself a Yubi Key NFC (the blue one) from amazon, has anyone used one of these with Mint Linux to add 2 factor to logging into their machine?

I tried with my neo but failed, it wasn't as straight forward as I hoped. However, I did add it to my gmail account and use it to authenticate as 2FA when adding the account or using the account with first time use on new/unknown hardware. That seems to work well, especially on mobile devices as the neo uses NFC making it quick.

I really do need to take some time to have another crack at laptop 2fa or login authentication. Its on my todo list.

I think I just bought a $35 keyring.... can't get it to do anything with Mint Linux.  The Yubikey Personalisation tool just says its not inserted... bahh

**Edit... gmail works ok in Chrome and now Firefox
