FIDO2 settings

In the “Applications” tab, you can set or change the PIN code for using YubiKey. Also, if you wish, you can reset the pin code in this tab. But be careful: this action will remove all keys from your account.

PIV settings

You can set or change the PIN code and PUK code of the YubiKey that supports the smart card function. To do this, find the corresponding tab in the “Programs” section.

In the same section, you can add certificates or return PIV to factory settings. But be careful: this way you will also delete all the certificates you configured earlier.

You can set up an OTP call by touching the metal plate of the YubiKey in the “Programs” tab.
