      Hello.
      I recently got my hands on a YubiKey 5. While using Opera I had 2 issues:

      1. I could not register the key on any website (Google, Dropbox, Gitlab, ...) they all had an error:5
      2. Using the official Yubico website to test the fido2 or u2f authentication (https://demo.yubico.com/webauthn-technical/registration) while the key is plugged in will simply crash the whole browser. After restart opera noticed it crashed but had no crashlog (automatic crashlog sending is enabled)

      Authentication with a registered device works without problem.

      I tested it again on Chrome and Firefox and everything worked flawlessly.
      I use Opera 65.0.3467.48 on Ubuntu 19.04 (x86_64; with GNOME)

            I have to add a small correction to the sentence: "Authentication with a registered device works without problem." ... I later noticed that logging into Github with a hardware token also crashes.

              Sorry no idea 😞
              Launching opera from a terminal and checking its output there might help though.

                Ok I think the problem was somewhat fixed and I don't know why.
                I read into the problem a little bit more specifically for Linux and fond that in earlier versions you had to install libu2f-host0. After installing it Opera still crashed. I came back to the problem today and it just worked somhow. I don't know why exactly especially since I restarted Opera multiple times before and after installing libu2f and I don't even know if libu2f was the problem. But somehow it just worked today. Weird.
