I would like to remove Windows Hello PIN and start using YubiKey instead. I have two key already configured in Microsoft account, but Windows Hello just ignore them and keep insisting of using of the "more secure" PIN.

    Hello and thank You for your replay.

    Sadly after the registry tweak the situation remained unchanged.

    Pin is the way of login into the system. The string used is for login with Microsoft Account as there the hardware keys are well defined and usable. Just not on the system itself.
