Yubikey Two-Factor Authentication

Anonymous

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

    Thanks...That looks like it will work fine. although they only talk about using the Edge browser, which I do not. I've only used Firefox; I guess I'd had better research Yubico about using Firefox instead of Edge.

    Thanks again...
