ykman otp yubiotp --public-id - Generate MODHEX suggestion

[del-leehopper]

Can I suggest a new feature? It would be useful to have a new command option called something like --public-id-random that can be used instead of --serial-public-id and --public-id.

As you will know, if you need to wipe an OTP on a YubiKey for the second time (i.e. using --serial-public-id the first time) then the Public ID will not be accepted when uploading to https://upload.yubico.com/ (i.e. it will not allow duplicates). Therefore, you need to use --public-id and create your own "MODHEX" of 12 characters starting with "vv" and the remaining characters using the modhex alphabet (c, b, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, n, r, t, u, v).
e.g. vvlnrtvgethj

This is quite tedious, therefore I suggest a new option to be able to do this for you. This used to be possible in the "YubiKey Personalization Tool".

Thanks.
