I have a Yubikey with PIV enabled and paired with my MacBook. I also use Touch ID to unlock when available. But Touch ID requires the password to re-enable from time to time (e.g. not unlocked for 48 hours, etc.). In this case, I can't enter my password without unplugging the Yubikey (I can enter the PIN to unlock, of course. But that won't re-enable Touch ID). Is there a way to enter the password instead of PIN without unplugging the smart card?
