When logging into Floobits via Github using a Github 2FA device, device not detected when inserted #83

Although I was able to just have them send me a code via text and then it worked fine, using my device is handy. Maybe USB devices aren't accessible internally to Atom?

One like this:

Can you describe this issue in more detail? I have a first-gen Yubikey, and from the OS's view, it's just a USB keyboard. I'm not sure how our plugin could behave differently for it.

Sure, basically when authenticating with Github for Floobits, Github.com loaded within an Atom window and because of never logged in there before, I was prompted for my Yubikey. But upon inserting it couldn't detect so I'm not sure the "WebView" for Electron had access/privileges or whatever was necessary to detect the Yubikey.
