Windows 10 Security Key difficulties
Post Body

So I got some Yubikeys because my family are terrible about maintaining passwords and windows hello pins, to at least force them to have some semblance of security. I will also use mine for GPG and maybe even PIV, but first things first. I'm adding my Yubikey in my windows settings. Settings -> Accounts -> Sign-in Options -> Security Key, and it just asks me to set press my button, then allows me to either set or change a pin, or reset the key entirely. I've got the key setup as the stock configuration with U2F and Fido 2 both enabled, and windows clearly can see the key, but when I go to log in, it just tries to force me to set a "Windows Hello" pin, or enter a password or pin. It won't let me even attempt to log in using either key. I've added the keys to my Microsoft account. Windows 10 is supposed to use Fid0 2 instead of the password or standalone pin. I've been locking and relocking my account all evening, and I'm getting frustrated. What am I missing?
