  1. Passkeys and PC's 24/7 restarts


    Currently my Win11 PC acts a server and is powered 24/7. If and when the PC restarts, it is configured to automatically run Windows etc without need of manual password intervention.If I change to Passkey only, how do I configure the PC to effectively by pass the need for a passkey?Or are the passkey needs for the MS account separate from the Windows Hello log in need for a password?Hope you see what I'm driving at.Thanks

    :)

    How to enter bluetooth device passkey into Windows 10


    Trying to pair a bluetooth device (Kindle tablet) to my desktop PC. Bluetooth turned on in both devices. Tablet show my computer's name and provides a passkey that Windows 10 must use. When I go to Devices and Printers, Bluetooth...Windows will search for devices, list an unknown one, but I see nowhere to give it the passkey to use. I tried Add Device, but it only searches. Does not ask for passkey. Where do I enter passkey information for a bluetooth device into Windows 10?

    "Something went wrong. There was a problem signing in with your passkey"

    Hello Dimitris,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

    It sounds like you're experiencing a problem with the Passkey feature for Apple services. Passkeys are a more secure replacement for passwords, designed to prevent phishing and make signing in easier and safer. Your issue might be stemming from several potential causes. Here's what you can consider:

    1. Update Your Devices: Ensure all your devices are updated to the latest versions of their operating systems. Sometimes, compatibility issues can cause problems with new features like Passkeys.
    2. Browser Compatibility: Check if your browser supports Passkeys. While most modern browsers do, ensuring you're using a compatible and updated browser is crucial.
    3. iCloud Keychain: Passkeys require iCloud Keychain to be enabled. Verify that iCloud Keychain is turned on in your iCloud settings.
    4. Sign-in Settings: Go to your Apple ID settings and review your Passkey settings. Ensure that Passkeys are set up correctly and that your device is authorized.
    5. Network Issues: Sometimes, network problems can interfere with authentication processes. Try switching networks or resetting your network settings.
    6. Restart Your Device: A simple restart can sometimes resolve unexpected glitches, including issues with Passkeys.
    7. Apple Support: If the problem persists, contacting Apple Support directly might be the best course of action. They can provide more targeted assistance, especially if there's a specific issue with your account or device.
    Before reaching out to Apple Support, gather any error messages or codes you've received, as these can help diagnose the problem more effectively. Apple's support team is well-equipped to handle such issues and can guide you through more advanced troubleshooting steps if needed.

    Hopefully, one of these suggestions helps resolve the issue you're facing with signing in using your Passkey.

    If there is anything not clear or I can't understand your problem, please do not hesitate to let me know.

    Best Regards
