I'm hit by this issue and for me the suggested workaround doesn't work.

My previous setup:
- had the fingerprint auth enabled
- have the Yubikey attached and **required** for auth (initial login as well as sudo)

Previous behavior since this issue appearance: I wouldn't be able to log in with the key attached, but when not attached I would be able to log in with just a swipe of the finger (so, yubikey auth would be bypassed)

Yesterday I have disabled fingerprints. Now I'm completely unable to login from the graphic login screen:
- if the key is attached, the screen enforces the smartcard auth (I've tried changing the alternative, as suggested above). This doesn't work
- if the key is not attached, I'm able to enter my password. Then the spinner is shown for some time (because the system tries to detect the key) and the error is displayed. If I plugged in the key at this stage (something that helped me before, albeit being inconvenient), the screen would jump again to the smartcrd auth

The only way I can use my machine now is to go to the terminal session, login there (it works fine), then startx from there.
