thanks Pierre! Maybe this should go into the cookbook though? I think
ideally it would be a wiki entry. Its one of those things that is easy
from hindsight but not easy to google.

For a user to access a Yubikey an udev rule needs to be added. This can
be done by using the udev rules found in libu2f-host package. To use the
rules the following should be added to your config.scm

(use-modules (gnu packages security-token))

...

(define %modified-desktop-services
  (modify-services %minimal-desktop-services
    (udev-service-type
     config =>
     (udev-configuration (inherit config)
                         (rules (cons libu2f-host
                                      (udev-configuration-rules
config)))))))

Of course there is more to say about yubikey but this is all I needed
for now.
