  1. I want to login by using security key only and not use password anymore, How ?


    I want to login my account completely passwordless with my security key.

    So I set up my security key in "Windows Hello and security keys" and it's works fine, I can login by using my security key.

    But when I tried to login with my password it still can login with no security key needed !

    how to fix that ? how to login by using security key only ?

  2. Security key login works, But why I can still login with my password

    please answer my 2 questions

    1. I just set up a security key to login my account and it works fine, But when I try to login with my password it's still can login without security key needed! I want my account accessible with my security key only not password anymore. How to do that
    ?

    2. My security key has NFC, so I want to use the same key to login to my account via my phone app too by using NFC (it's going to be like using USB security key insert to login via PC and NFC in the phone app). How to do that ?

  3. Try3 Win User
    Security Key

    Some tentative suggestions -
    1 Perhaps you mean the 'Security key' for a WiFi network?
    2 Perhaps you mean the 'Security key' for your router's Admin functions that is controlling your WiFi network?
    3 Perhaps you mean your Windows user account login 'password' or a 'PIN' that you have set it up to accept instead?

    key authentication

    Key authentication is the recommended method for security, reject all password logins

    If you lose the key use physical or remote console (IPMI)
