Bug Description
I have a Nitrokey FIDO2, which works fine with the Firefox deb package. However, it does not work at all with the Chromium snap. I have libu2f-udev installed.
This problem can be fixed by adding the following lines to /etc/udev/
# u2f-devices
# Nitrokey FIDO2
SUBSYSTEM=
TAG=="snap_
and then running sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger.
After that, it works perfectly well.
The Yubico YubiKey is already present with a very similar line, so this is merely a case of a missing rule.
It would be very nice if support for the Nitrokey FIDO2 could be upstreamed.

What I expected to happen: My FIDO2 security key should work.
What happened instead: It didn't work, due to a missing udev rule.

This is because snapd's u2f-devices interface lacks this rule. See my response here: https:/ /forum. snapcraft. io/t/nitrokey- fido2-does- not-work- with-chromium- snap/26098/ 2
