In Bug 1844136 we stopped using the authenticator-rs Manager type, but we didn't replicate all of its behavior. In particular, the Drop implementation on Manager cancels the Transaction that is owned by the Manager's StateMachine. Surprisingly, dropping a Manager was the only way to stop the device monitor thread (assuming the transaction was not cancelled by the user at a browser prompt).

fwiw, i have reports from users on OpenBSD that this prevents other programs from accessing the fido device (cf https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=170206115205111&w=2), and wonder if it's related to that issue or to something else (eg not enough code in the openbsd-specific parts of authenticator-rs). They've reported me that the issue is still present in 121.0b9, which includes the commit from bug #1863135
