Seamless ssh-agent for YubiKeys

yubikey-agent is a seamless ssh-agent for YubiKeys.

  • Easy to use. A one-command setup, one environment variable, and it just runs in the background.
  • Indestructible. Tolerates unplugging, sleep, and suspend. Never needs restarting.
  • Compatible. Provides a public key that works with all services and servers.
  • Secure. The key is generated on the YubiKey and can’t be extracted. Every session requires the PIN, every login requires a touch. Setup takes care of PUK and management key.
