Can it be used with a usb-c to usb-a adapter? null

Yubikey support has a web page that describes compatibility of various YubiKeys with adapters, and recommends specific adapters. I can't post the link here, but you'll find it if you search for "Using a YubiKey with USB-C adapters". This particular key is not compatible with any adapters (on the web page, mouse over the various Series boxes to see what models work with adapters). But some other YubiKey keys do work with adapters.

YubiKeys are designed to be used directly into a device, and not through an adapter. Since an adapter introduces an additional element that can cause data to not go through or have a delay, this can cause issues. Because of this, we cannot recommend or support using an adapter.
