Yubikey checkbox gets unchecked every time there is not a key present when the app is opened

The current implementation of the Yubikey feature is not ideal. The Yubikey checkbox gets unchecked every time there is not a key present when the app is opened, and does not auto-recheck when it is inserted. This means that every time the password safe is opened (at the start of each day and after lunch usually), the box gets unchecked and requires re-checking prior to login. It would be ideal to save the user’s preference for the Yubikey to be used and simply wait for the key to be inserted.

Thanks for your feedback Nick. The first part is definitely a bug, so I've moved it to the issue tracker (https://gitlab.com/huv/pwSafe/-/issues/7), you can subscribe to track progress there.

The part on the checkbox is an improvement, thanks for the idea, I will take a look at it.
