Security Key Setup

This article describes the process for setting up your security key (Yubikey) for use with completing MFA prompts with your SU account.

  1. Add the user to SecurityKeyUsers group, so they can actually self-register a security key. This is only necessary until we roll out FIDO2 security keys enrollment for all users.

  2. Navigate to https://myaccount.microsoft.com and click on “Security Info” in the left sidebar or click on “Update Info” under the Security Info section.

  3. Select “Add sign-in method”.
