Hello Andreas,

Sorry i am not so sure of what are you trying to achieve. You cannot back up the AES keys (you cannot take out the secret key from the Yubikey)

If you have a static long password configured, just press the Yubikey button, copy it in a text file and save the text file encrypted somewhere safe where you can retrieve it in the moment of needs.

Regards,
Tom.

Backup after the fact (configs written)

Alright, I'm going to resurrect this subject that was sort of asked in another forum but was not answered from my needs, and not in this NEO-forum.

I would really want to back up the base values that the key is sort of "made up" from, that it uses to generate it's OTPs and static password -- which are the two configs I have on it. In my scenario I cannot simply insert another yubikey, for one even if I had one extra I cannot find the functionality to "read/load" a config from an existing yubikey so as to be able to follow that with writing other keys? OR just save those values to some nice safe place.

I love my Neo thus far, but I cannot (prefer not to) buy an extra one for the same price just to have it un-used in a safe somewhere; it's something I might to in the coming months though. Until then I'd really want to back it up as I have started to lock most of my digital life to my yubikey.

Thanks in advance!

Kindly,
Andreas
