  1. Have yubikey security key added on Microsoft account, but cannot unlock PC with it


    Need some help here, I have read several articles on using adding a security key, but they do NOT seem to cover having a personal Microsoft account bound to a PC, and allowing you to use a security key instead. The short is how do I use a PC bound to a personal microsoft account not org based or on AD and make it to where I can unlock my PC with it instead of a password?I see for app logins https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-sign-in-options-and-account-protection-7b34d4cf-794f-f6bd-ddcc-e73cdf1a6fbfAnd for *AD* bound devices being able to use security key to login instead

    Security Key Blocked

    I have a problem with setting up security key with windows and microsoft account. During adding a key to microsoft account it asked me for pin. I entered PIN (for just testing I am using default pin for my yubikey). After couple tries it blocked. I do
    not know what to do. Yubikey Manager works fine and logins for other sites to.

    Adding a security key for PC login in Windows 10 Build 1903

    Hi `[o]~[o]´

    The issue is that you did not set up a Microsoft Account, you cannot setup your YubiKey for login, unless you log into Windows with a Microsoft Account

    Please see the steps on this page for setting up Windows 10 to log in with your YubiKey
