You may occasionally find that you want to move the Yubico OTP from its default location in Slot 1 to Slot 2. One reason you might want to do this is to avoid accidentally sending an OTP code by pressing the YubiKey. Moving the Yubico OTP to Slot 2 requires a "press and hold" (Slot 1 requires just a short tap). This can be done using either YubiKey Manager or YubiKey Personalization Tool.
Note: Moving a credential from slot 1 to slot 2, or vice-versa will not otherwise modify it. For instance, swapping slots will not affect the functionality, prefix ("cc" vs "vv"), etc. of the Yubico OTP credential that comes in slot 1 on all YubiKeys from the factory.
