Onlykey Login

[deleted]

Hey Everyone. I was wondering what setting i need to change for the USB Port in order to use an Onlykey for my BFU login password.

I am guessing it would not be charging only correct?

Charging-only when locked, or Charging-only when locked, except before first unlock.

Although I don't have experience with an Onlykey, it sounds like the OP wants to use it as a USB peripheral? "Charging-only when locked" will not allow USB peripherals when locked; it only allows charging. From the feature description in the settings menu:

Charging-only

Turns off all non-charging USB-C port functionality.

So if we are talking about connecting a USB peripheral in BFU mode, then the setting "Charging-only when locked, except before first unlock" will do fine.

So I misunderstood, but since when can you use a security key to unlock your pixel?

Hardware keys can store regular passwords. 2 in Yubikeys and 24 in Onlykeys according to this comparison table.

So you store a long password on your key, put it on the phone, enter your pin code and it automatically uses the long password to unlock the phone? Like a password manager?

I had no idea you could do that. Sounds interesting in theory.

I imagine so. Didn't really think about hardware keys doing this either. Might be something I'll consider when the 2FA PIN gets added to GOS.
