Description

On desktop I use KeePass 2.61 with OtpKeyProv plugin, and YubiKey generated tokens.
YubiKey also with keepass2aandroid 1.14-r4. Until recently (before Android update (OneUI 8 on Android 16) YubiKey tokens opened in keepass2android. [ok]
Now, they started opening in browser: https://demo.yubico.com/yk

Not sure, I suspect recent Android update made NFC behavior stricter, so apps can’t easily “steal” and block those links from opening.

I don't think user configuartion can resolve.
I think includeing related url as "supported link" in keepass2andoid could resolve ?

Thanks for your advice

Research direction

Start by reproducing YubiKey NFC token handling in keepass2android on OneUI 8 with Android 16, comparing it with the earlier behavior described. Read the app's NFC handling and supported-link configuration entry points, then determine whether the token opens in the app or the browser. Done means the intended YubiKey tokens open in keepass2android again without relying on user configuration.
