  1. Security key option is missing from login screen


    Hello,I have a Yubikey that is registered with Windows Hello on my Windows 11 computer, and it does work. I can log into Microsoft.com or into Okta, and Windows will open Windows Hello and let me use my Yubikey to log in. However, on the Windows lock screen, "security key" is missing as an option. I have Face, Fingerprint, and PIN, but no security key. Can anyone explain what the problem is?Thanks,- Steve

    :)

    Windows Hello & Pin Login NOT displaying on Login Screen

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Sorry for the delay in response.

    I appreciate your effort in trying to fix the issue with the missing features on login screen.

    1. Which security software is installed on your device?
    2. Is your device connected to domain network?

    Please try the below suggested steps and check if the required sign in options are available from login screen.

    Enable sign-in using PIN from group Policy editor

    1. Open Local Group Policy Editor. To do so, type gpedit.msc
      in the run command (Windows + R key).
    2. Navigate to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon.
    3. In the right pane, double click on Turn on convenience PIN sign-in policy
      to edit it.
    4. Select Enabled option from Turn on convenience PIN sign-in window.
    5. Click on Apply, OK and close the window.
    6. Restart the device and check if the sign-in using PIN is available on the login screen.

    Enable sign into Windows 10 using Biometrics from Local Group Policy editor

    1. Open Local Group Policy Editor. To do so, type gpedit.msc
      in the run command (Windows + R key).
    2. Navigate to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Biometrics.
    3. In the right pane of Biometrics, double click on Allow users to log on using biometrics.
    4. Select Enabled option from Allow users to log on using biometrics window.
    5. Click on Apply, OK and close the window.
    6. Restart the device and check if the sign in using Biometrics is available on the login screen.

    Hope it helps. Get back to us for further assistance on this issue. We will be happy to help you.
