  • YubiKey Manager (ykman) version: 5.4.0
  • How was it installed?: apt-get install yubikey-manager
  • Operating system and version: Debian 13/trixie
  • YubiKey model and version: 5.4.x, 5.7.x

The old ykpersonalize tool has an option called serial-usb-visible [1], that enables the serial number of the YubiKey in the USB iSerial field. Enabling this allows you to easily distinguish different YubiKeys (especially automatically via udev etc.).

I'd really like to see this option in ykman as well.

This option caters to a very specific use-case, and we've historically chosen not to add this to the CLI as we don't believe it is relevant to the majority of our users. As of now we are not willing to add this, but we may reconsider it if we see an increase in the demand for it in the future.

I know it's not the same, but as a workaround you can use scripting to achieve this.
