NOTE:

  1. Check if the Yubico page shows the status "In Progress" under FIDO Certification Level. In this case, please contact Yubico's Customer Support. 
  2. Alternatively, if the authenticator does not appear in the FIDO MDS AAGUID list, add it to the custom AAGUID list. When adding an entry to the custom AAGUID list that's already in the FIDO MDS AAGUID list, the custom entry overrides the FIDO MDS entry.
