Google Authenticator – Using Google Credential Provider for Windows with Yubikey 2FA

google-authenticatoryubikey

Can I use my Yubikey hardware 2FA with Google Credential Provider for Windows (GCPW)?

At the moment I am asked to sign in again the only option is Google Authenticator, and a few more but the Yubikey option does not seem to work.

Same issue here. Unfortunately this ist not supported :(

Note: USB security keys aren’t supported by GCPW. If you enforce security keys, users can still sign in to their device with Android and iOS built-in security keys. Or, when prompted for 2-Step Verification, they can click "Try another way" and use another 2-Step Verification method if one is available. If no other method is available, users can't sign in to the device. To modify your 2-Step Verification methods, go to the 2-Step Verification setup guide. Installing GCPW
