[Bug 1744928] [NEW] udev doesn't include a rule for security keys (including Yubico)

[Apicultor]

Public bug reported:

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=427966#c19

I can confirm that the following solves the problem on bionic:

sudo bash -c 'cat > /lib/udev/rules.d/50-securitykey.rules << EOF
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1050", MODE="0644", GROUP="plugdev"
EOF'
service udev restart

We might wish to flesh this out with a list of vendor IDs, but even just
Yubico (1050) will likely cover the vast majority of use cases due to
their market share.

** Affects: udev (Ubuntu)
