    Windows 10 asks me to do the following to authorize a security keyGo to my account--sign in options--security key--manage--insert your security key into the USB port--touch your security key--security key pin you are to put the old PIN here but there is none for my security key, which uses a tap then-- New security key PIN--confirm security key PIN. How do I authorize my security key when it works by putting your fingertip on a button on the side of it as it is placed into a USB port

    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?

    Impossible to do Security Key PIN

    Clear "Pin suggested" list in People Bar

    Does anybody know how to clear the "Pin suggested" list on the "People bar"?

    Contacts are added to the "Pin suggested" list once you've pinned and unpinned them. But there seems to be no obvious way to remove them from that list.

    After playing around with this feature and pinning and unpinning many dummy contacts, it's rather annoying to see them in the "Pin suggested" list when you click on the "My People" icon in the taskbar.
