I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but for some reason, whatever I set the static password to be using scan code mode in the windows configuration utility, it always has some characters that I didn't enter.

For instance, I set the password to be "test", but the Yubikey actually outputs it as "testSCoE£/:A0ak", as though it's padding to a certain password length. Even setting it to "testtesttesttest" to make up the max 16 character password, the Yubikey then outputs "testtesttesttest+.U=Ta>AAA@=d+".

Any idea of what I'm doing wrong would be great.

I've just received the key today BTW, and it's running FW 2.2.1

Cheers

Edit: Maybe this should have been in the general forum, but I wasn't sure if it was a problem with the config utility...or the way I have the config utility setup :)

I am having the exact same problem. For example, I have purchased two keys. I want both keys to output the same exact 16 character password. For the life of me, I cannot get the keys to just output the 16 characters. They always output the 16 then some further characters - I assume some part of a OTP. I need it to be exact everytime.

I have attached a PDF with screen prints of each step. For the "Scan Code Input" field I'm typing "1234567890123456" (without the quotes). Exactly 16 characters.

Firmware: 2.2.1

Please help!

+1, same issue here.

Wanted to use configuration 2 for a static password that already exists and I don't want to type each time, but the Yubikey is adding characters at the end no matter how long or what my password is.

I've emailed Yubico support twice, once on Friday, and once yesterday, and I haven't heard anything back yet.

I've just received a reply from Yubico Support.

Quote:
Our team has identified a bug in Windows Personalization Tool which is causing this issue. We are working on releasing a new version of the Windows Personalization Tool in next couple of days. We will keep you updated.

Thank you for your patience!


Edit: It would seem that Yubico emailed me before I posted above, but it didn't make it through to my account immediately for some reason.

Looks like Yubico just updated the Yubikey Configuration Utility (v2.2.0). It solves this problem. In fact it now supports longer fixed static passwords (up to 38 characters). Thank you Yubico! I set config 1 for a 16 character password and config 2 for my 30 character password. Nice.

I know this static password stuff is really not the original intent of the yubikey, yet it works great for TrueCrypt.
