(And I also intend to buy a chain tomorrow which will let me attach the YubiKey to my keychain with a bit more physical flexibility. Previously, when I put my YubiKey directly on my keychain, it was too bulky to plug it straight into my laptop, so when I was working from the office I would have to take it off the keychain to plug it in without damaging the YubiKey or port; I suspect this is how I lost it both times. With a chain, I should be able to leave the YubiKey firmly secured to my keychain whenever I’m not at home.)

Thanks for the access request, we have to confirm the key out of band and another approval from @thcipriani is needed for the deployment group.

@Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE is still a member of the deployment group. So approval from @thcipriani is not really needed. I'll proceed with this change then.

The key has been confirmed out of band and provided in Gerrit already: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/puppet/+/1244661
