    You’re talking past each other, some Yubikeys have PGP apples for asymmetric encryption (public / private keypairs), and HMAC is a symmetric single key algorithm where the yubikey sends a resulting value to the PC/phone which is part of the key derivation inputs (even though the yubikey’s root key remains secret).
