Archinstall 3.0.9 adds support for U2F authentication for system log-in of added users. There is now a "U2F login setup" area if a universal two-factor authentication device is found by the installer.

The updated Arch Linux installer also adds Bluetooth support for being able to install common Bluetooth packages like Bluez and Blueman.
