Description
Describe the bug
I downloaded ReVanced app to use it instead of YouTube and during the sign in process I was asked to fill my Google credentials along with the U2F authorization. I tried both Yubikey 5C key and Yubikey 5 NFC key but neither of them work properly. It acts like I didn't use the key even though I did it. I fill the vibration of the NFC key and I can see the light flashing of USB-C key but nothing happens.
Expected behavior
I should be signed in the same way I am when logging directly in Google services
System
Android Version: 12

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Google sign-in flow on Android 12 with both the Yubikey 5C and Yubikey 5 NFC, checking the U2F authorization step where the key is detected but sign-in does not continue. Done means both keys complete authentication and allow sign-in to YouTube as they do in Google services.
