If the "Use YubiKey" option is grayed out or not functioning as expected, check the status of the OTP application on the YubiKey:
- Download and install the YubiKey Manager application from the Yubico website.
- Open the YubiKey Manager application.
- Ensure that the OTP (One-Time Password) setting is enabled for the USB interface. This setting is crucial for Mac as it uses USB for communication instead of NFC.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully set up your YubiKey with pwSafe on your Mac. If issues persist, consider reaching out to pwSafe support for further assistance.

Yubico Manager was end-of-lifed on Feb 2025. What's the solution now that you can no longer download it? Thanks.
“We have officially announced the End of Life of YubiKey Manager GUI on February 19, 2025, in line with Yubico’s End-of-Life policy.”
It is just announced at this stage. The page containing your quote reads on:
YubiKey Manager GUI will reach its End of Life on February 19, 2026.
So, for now, just download it, and we will see what alternatives Yubico will provide before the EOL date.
