Windows Registration

Introduction


In order to be able to sign-in into Windows Azure using the Multi-Pass, you must first:

1. Enroll your biometrics on the card using the sleeve. Details on how to enroll your biometrics can be found here: Multi-Pass_Card_biometric_registration.pdf

2. You must then ensure you have set your PIN on the card

3. Finally, you will then add your Multi-Pass as a security key authentication method on your Microsoft account


This section will cover the later. We will outline the steps required to add your Multi-Pass as a sign-in method on your Microsoft account.

Steps to Add Multi-Pass on Windows

Step 1.

Navigate to your Microsoft account’s security info page:

https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info

Step 2. 

Select “Add sign-in method” 



Step 3. 

A popup window will appear. Select the “Security key” method from the drop down and click “Add” 



Step 4.

At this point, another window will appear asking to specify the security key type. Select “NFC

Device” and click “Next”. Please note, you must select NFC Device even if you are using a USB card

reader.







Step 5.

Depending the browser you are using, you may see the following prompt. Please select “External security key or built-in sensor” option.

Step 6. 

At this point, you will be asked to confirm that you are setting up a security key to sign in to Microsoft as your user name.

Another window will appear to confirm additional details of the setup.  

Step 7. 

Windows will ask you to tap your Multi-Pass on the NFC reader. 

This is where you will: 

1. Hold the Multi-Pass with your finger on the biometrics sensor 


2. Then tap (or insert) your Multi-Pass card on the reader (always keeping your finger on the biometric sensor).
 

3. If your fingerprint is recognized, the LED on the card should blink green (might be more than once so please keep holding it). Once the process is completed, you will be redirected.

Note: 

• Having your finger placed already on the biometric sensor, when presenting the card to the reader, will avoid any hiccups. 

• Additionally, if a prompt is displayed asking you to touch your security key and you already have your finger on the sensor, no need to do anything, it’s just a default message seemingly designed with other types of security keys in mind (e.g. Yubikeys).

Step 8. 

The final step of the registration is to name your security key. You can be as creative as you like. 

Step 9. 

A window will appear confirming the setup is complete. Congratulations, you can now use your Multi-Pass card to sign in to your Windows account!
