Description
I would like to be able to add a Security Key (e.g. Yubikey or similar U2F key) as a "device" in keybase.
The key could be enrolled via the desktop app or the mobile app or perhaps even the Keybase website (possibly using the Webauthn standard).

Research direction
Start by reviewing how Keybase currently enrolls devices in the desktop and mobile apps, and whether the website has a device-enrollment path. Read the WebAuthn standard to define the security-key flow and its platform requirements. Done means a security key can be enrolled as a device through an agreed client path and used consistently afterward.
