These instructions continue directly from the initial setup above and should be started from a desktop or laptop computer.

Select the first drop-down menu and change it to "Security Key."  Click Next.

You'll be asked what type of security key you'd like to set up.  For setting up a key with a computer, choose USB.

You'll then see a box that tells you that you'll need to insert a security key. Click Next, but DO NOT insert your security key yet.

Your computer will then walk you through the process to associate your security key with your University account.  If this is the first time you've used the security key, you'll have a more detailed setup process that's described in another article. DO NOT insert your security key until prompted.

 When prompted, insert your security key into your computer.

If this is your first time using this security key, you'll be prompted to set a PIN.  This PIN is stored on your key and will be used any time that you use it.  You must remember this PIN; ITS cannot recover your PIN.

Otherwise, you'll be prompted to enter your PIN.

After you do, you'll be asked to give it a name. You'll then be able to use your YubiKey to sign in.

Your account is now protected by multi-factor authentication using a hardware security key.
