how do I setup a security key? I'm trying to setup a passkey on Amazon and it asks me to insert my security key. I've searched everywhere and I can't find out how to create one.

    Hi, and welcome to Microsoft Q&A.

    First, you need to purchase a FIDO2 hardware security key. You can search for them on Amazon and many other websites, and even buy one in a local store.

    However, if you are given the option to set up Windows Hello or a browser passkey on Amazon, those are also great options. Windows Hello and hardware security keys are considered passkeys.

    Feel free to post back if you need assistance in setting up a passkey.
