I've got a simple USB watching script (with hammerspoon) to lock my computer when I remove my yubikey. I just yank the yubikey and go. I also have it iMessage me when it's removed. In case someone else grabs it when I'm not near it. I also have it wake up the screen when I plug it in, combined with Knock I can get in and out of my computer quickly and easily.

Please share this? Would love to have something like this for as often as I'm pulled away from my desk

  Here's the gist: https://gist.github.com/ojkelly/45dda0a5a7066c6a79a038ece8bde55a https://gist.github.com/ojkelly/45dda0a5a7066c6a79a038ece8bd... In the original post, I left out that I also have a usb LED sign [1] that I also have programmed, so people know when they can and cannot interrupt me. Again controlled with hammerspoon and my yubikey. [1] http://dreamcheeky.com/led-message-board http://dreamcheeky.com/led-message-board

Fantastic idea! One day I hope this will be replaced by me walking away (with my phone) for more than X meters. Meanwhile, this seems like a great solution. What else do you use the ubikey for?

This reminds me of the pull request I did for Hammerspoon to allow your scripts to watch more screen lock and user switching events. My goal was to delete keys from the ssh-agent when the screen locks or the computer suspends. http://fanf.livejournal.com/139925.html http://fanf.livejournal.com/139925.html
