Yubico had a great article on “the ‘air-gap conundrum’” - when using a credential manager to access air-gapped assets. Please look at this creative solution - essentially the credential manager stuffs a credential into one of the slots on a hardware token.

Consider this a feature request.

Hi @cobaltjacket, thanks for sharing this.

I can definitely understand how being able to use a hardware security key to enter credentials on an air-gapped system would be useful, and I’ve filed this as a feature request for our product team to consider.

Hi, thanks for adding this as a feature request. I should note that despite this feature (if added) not being high-frequency, it is conversely potentially high-impact.

Hi @cobaltjacket,

I’ve made sure to note that in the feature request 😊.
