Description

KeePassXC now supports Nitrokey 3 as a Challenge-Response method. However, a database locked with a Nitrokey cannot be unlocked with Keepass2Android.

When selecting "Password + Challenge-Response for Keepass XC" as the master key type, Keepass2Android looks for a YubiKey, and does not detect the Nitrokey.

Research direction

Start by tracing the master-key handling for "Password + Challenge-Response for Keepass XC" and the existing YubiKey detection path. Determine how Nitrokey 3 support should fit alongside YubiKey support; done means a Nitrokey-locked database can be unlocked in Keepass2Android without breaking the existing YubiKey flow.
