Bug#1051120: debian-installer: can't use YubiKey for secure drive encryption passphrase because enter clears form



Hi,

Jonathan Kamens <jik@kamens.us> (2023-09-02):

I'm assuming the main problem is that Enter moves to the next screen,
you would have to send passphrase + <tab> instead of passphrase +
<enter> to have a desired effect in the graphical installer.

Try the text-based installer instead, password and passphrase
confirmations happen on two separate screens?

I realize this makes your life harder, but I don't think it would be
reasonable to change what Enter does at this point.
