    How can I save passkeys on my pc?


    All of a sudden most of my passkeys got deleted and wanted to register them again. I went over to Discord to start there but it wont let me save it on my pc. It asks me 2 times to enter my pin to make sure its me and then when the choose where to save window shows up i cant save it on my pc. Clicking on more choices just hides them.

    :)

    passkeys on windows 11

    hello

    I have a windows 11 pc and I want to create passkeys for google, microsoft and other sites. I read the Microsoft article that says there is an option to save the passkey locally on the pc, but when i go to create the passkey I don t see that option, instead i can only use another pc or a security key.

    Is there any reason why i cant save it on my pc? What can i do to save the passkey locally to my device?

    Thank you for help

    Save Passkey on Device not showing up

    Hello,

    According to Create a Passkey there should be an Option to save Passkeys on the Computer. However, I don't get that Option. The Computer has Windows Hello set up with a PIN and a Fingerprint. The Computer is also in an AD, so maybe that's the issue, but according to the Group Policy there shouldn't be any restrictions according to that.

    How can I save passkeys on my pc?

    Passkey disappeared after changing PIN

    I recently started using the Hello passkey feature to use a PIN to log-in to my HP Probook, Windows 11 Pro, and to log into one specific app that requires a passkey. It worked fine until I decided to change my PIN to make it longer.

    After changing my PIN, the app I need to log in to stopped showing the option to use Hello to sign in (it only offers me the choices of mobile or USB passkeys - same thing when just now I tried to log into this Microsoft site with a passkey, didn't show the option of Windows).

    And looking under passkey settings in Windows, it says I have no saved passkeys.

    (I've seen in the help docs here that the Windows login itself should appear on the passkey, list...? But I don't even see that.)

    Any way to recover this? The passkey would've been stored locally on my PC...? Can I find that file?

    I was not signed into Microsoft ever on this PC. But I hope they don't just delete all passkeys because of a simple PIN change....?
