Remarks
The System.Memory<T> collection containing the key is used by the operation to program the YubiKey, but the source continues to be owned by the caller. This means that the caller is responsible for clearing the memory after use to avoid exposing sensitive information.
Setting an explicit key is not compatible with generating a key. Specifying both will result in an exception.
