I have a need to pass through a YubiKey to a Windows (10) VM guest such that Windows in the guest will let me use it with physical touch activation for 2FA.
For those times, I am physically at the VM host, so I don't need _remote_ redirection into the guest, and I'm fine with plugging and unplugging the YubiKey physically on an as-needed basis.
If I simply redirect the USB device through the virt-manager GUI, my experience is that it has at best worked very much unreliably, and often not at all.
Searching the web hasn't helped.
Does anyone have a recipe for that to work _reliably_?
I had 2 smartcard readers for 10 years connected to different virtual machines. This worked for me all these years: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x08e6'/> <product id='0x3478'/> </source> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='4'/> </hostdev> kind regards Björn Lässig
