Adding a FIDO2 security key will require having a registered MFA option to access the registration screens. If you don’t already have MFA registered and don’t have another device to complete MFA, please contact the Technology Help Line at ext. 4357 or 1-77-230-3509 and we can provide you with a temporary access password (TAP) that will let you into the security key registration screen.
