Unlock the screen with YubiKey 5 in Debian GNU/Linux trixie with KDE (spoiler: not sddm)

I got a YubiKey 5 and I played some weeks with it. Example of things I’ve done:

  • ✅ passwordless sudo in Debian, or, 2FA sudo in Debian
  • ✅ passwordless policy kit (e.g. “Run as administrator”) in Debian, or, 2FA for it
  • ✅ passwordless login in some websites, or, 2FA, in Firefox
  • ✅ passwordless SSH access in Debian, or, 2FA SSH in Debian
  • ✅ passwordless login in Debian, or, 2FA login in Debian (sddm)
  • 🥶 but screen unlocking

I mean, super easy to login, but it was impossible to lock/unlock the screen with YubiKey. WHY? Good question.

Answer: KDE designers are too good and trolled me :3 note for myself:
