Windows 10: Yubikey Two-Factor Authentication

Hi....I just purchased a " Yubikey " to use with the password manager LastPass and it works very well as a two-factor authentication. I sign on to my PC with my Microsoft account and would like to use the Yubikey as a two-factor there also. I can't seem to find a procedure at Microsoft that explains how to set this up correctly. The last thing I want to do is lock myself out of my PC.

I need to know ;

(1) The procedure to setup a Yubikey with a Microsoft account.

(2) Will the Yubikey work OK on any PC that I may sign onto with my Microsoft account. I have several PC's i often sign into .

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.....Larry

Where/how to get a two-factor authenticator that works everwhere?


23July2018.
Where to get a 2-factor authenticator that
works on lap top pc with W10 upgrade, and
on/together with a cellphone (there are internet
somewhere there inside the phone, but I never
used it).- I know you have TOPT/HOPT, DUO/DuoPush,
winauth, Azure, Google authenticator, HMAX, RFC
authenticators, U2F, 1password, Yubikey etc.
But I would like to manage log-ins without a smartphone.
The 2-factor log-in (text-code via phone) on Coinbase stopped
working. On a cryptocurrency exchange you couldn`t do
anything without a U2F.

How To Create Two Factor Authentication for Remote Desktop

Hello artmanphoto, are you using the built in remote software that comes with windows 10 ?
I too use remote software, so can i suggest you change to one of the following.
Because the remote software that comes with windows is very insecure.

Teamviewer
To use 2 step authenticator with teamviewer go here


Splashtop
To use 2 step authenticator with splashtop go here


Radmin
Does not have 2 step authentication as far as i know.
But it does have IP Filter, very high security.

All 3 have very high security,
Splashtop & teamviewer both have so you can add two factor authentication with google authenticatior.
Personally i prefer radmin
