Onboarding Yubico Security Key and creating your first passkey

[@MrTerryRay1]

Question please: once we set up our Yubikey with Google as you've shown, must we install the Yubikey manager and change Pik, Puk, and Management passwords? Or is our Yubikey secure without changing those parameters

The pin is changed at the first use, even if you do not use youbikey manager, is the operating system, browser that force you to set the pin. That is the most important thing.
Then you have Puk and key management that are used for more advanced scenario, if you do not use certificates, PGP, you can avoid using Yubikey manager entirely.
Remember, the pin is the protection that you have if you lose the key and someone found it. Remember also that you have 8 maximum failure tentatives before all credentials are lost.

Good video explaining how these Yubikeys work. I have been using the same Pin for windows and the Yubikey and this has been very confusing. How can you change the Pin on the Yubikey?

You can download and install yubikey manager, www.yubico.com/support/download/yubikey-manager/

When, near the end of the video, you enter the PIN with the Yubikey, is it the PIN for the YubiKey or the Windows PIN?
