Description
Nitrokey start supports only RSA keys of 2048 (repeat: no HOTP support there).
Heads should change the default to deal with its exposed IDs:
`NK Start PID:VID : 20a0:4211`

- [ ] should also be part of qemu-coreboot board configs to be used in tests (even though there is no HOTP support, TOTP variants still need a USB Security dongle)

Research direction
Start by locating the oem-factory-reset entry point and the qemu-coreboot board configurations mentioned in the issue. Check how the default RSA key size is selected for Nitrokey Start (PID:VID 20a0:4211), then verify that the relevant configurations use 2048-bit RSA and that TOTP variants retain a USB security dongle.
