+@subsection Disabling OTP code generation for a Yubikey
+@cindex disabling yubikey OTP
+If you use a Yubikey security key and are irritated by the spurious OTP
+codes it generates when inadvertently touching the key (e.g. causing you
+to become a spammer in the @samp{#guix} channel when discussing from
+your favorite IRC client!), you can disable it via the following
+@command{ykman} command:
+
+@example
+guix shell python-yubikey-manager -- ykman config usb --force --disable OTP
+@end example
