You can enable challenge-response logins with the following commands:
You'll first need to install the necessary udev packages to your NixOS configuration:<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
services.udev.packages = [ pkgs.yubikey-personalization ];
</syntaxhighlight>You can program the Yubikey for challenge-response on slot 2 and setup the current user for logon:
# <code>nix-shell -p yubico-pam -p yubikey-manager</code>
# <code>ykman otp chalresp --touch --generate 2</code>
# <code>ykpamcfg -2 -v</code>
