    dont have usb for security key

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    In order to get better clarity on the issue, please let us know:



    • When you say “got deleted off usb or usb flash drive is not working either way", are you unable to use USB flash drive on the computer?
    • When you say “I don't exactly have a security key", which security key are you referring to?
    • Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? Refer
      Which version of Windows operating system am I running?


    I would suggest you to try plugging the USB to a different USB port and check if that helps. You can also try connecting the USB to a different computer and check.



    Meanwhile, I would suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the article

    Error: “USB Device not recognized" when you try to access a USB external hard drive
    except Method 1 & 2 and see if that makes any difference.



    A security key is a physical device that you can use instead of your user name and password to sign in. Since it’s used in addition to a fingerprint or PIN, even if someone has your security key, they won’t be able to sign in without the PIN or fingerprint
    that you create.​​​



    However, if you had configured security key earlier by any chance, you may refer Sign
    in to your Microsoft account with Windows Hello or a security key
    .



    For additional information, see
    Windows Hello and FIDO2 Security Keys enable secure and easy authentication for shared devices
    .



    Let us know the results. If the issue persists, we will certainly assist you further.

    That made me so facepalm. Some people have absolutely no clue. I hope they don't take you for granted with all this you're doing for them.

    SonicWall is a good security product, so Mindweaver's suggestion sounds like a good one and should make for a rather bigger baby step. Let's hope they take it.
