Description
This is a feature request, and i did search the doc, and did not find the feature implemented. I hope i did not overlook anything.
My feature request is to be able to unlock the browser plugin using a USB yubikey /fido2 device.
So when i open my browser - firefox 69 on linux 5.3 in my case - then to unlock the browser plugin (that i am scared of storing the master password for ... ) i should be able to plug my pre-enlisted yubikey to a usb port, and push the button, and have my passman browser plugin opened that way.
What do you think?
I am currently on passman 2.3.1 <x<x< just updated to 2.3.4 browser extension 2.1.1, nextcloud 16.0.2

Research direction
Start by tracing the passman browser plugin's unlock flow in the JavaScript extension and reviewing how Firefox on Linux currently authenticates the plugin. Define the device-enrollment and unlock behavior for a USB YubiKey/FIDO2 device, then verify that the plugin can unlock without storing the master password.
