KeepassXC can use a challenge-response slot in yubikeys as a replacement for passwords to decrypt databases (faq)

i set up a challenge-response credential in both slots in the pico fido using the yubikey manager (i spoofed a yubikey 5, and it did seem to save), but when i plug it in, KeepassXC says "Detecting hardware keys", then a second later spits out "Hardware key error: timeout" in the console (both in macOS and linux)

according to another issue, this means that the key was not touched in time, but i did not set touch to either of the slots, not did the key prompt me to touch it

Are you using the nightly development build?

yep, same behavior as 6.0
i also checked on windows, and that doesn't seem to even show up with the "Detecting hardware keys" text, but that sounds like it might be a different problem

i managed to get windows to work, but only if KeepassXC was started with a passkey already inserted; then it would work as intended, i could register it to a database, unlock a database with it, replug it and still have it detected, etc. if KeepassXC is started without a passkey inserted, it wouldn't detect it at all

again, this sounds like a different problem to linux/macOS
