How to Enable imKey Pass S6 on your Microsoft Account (Security Key / Passkey)

A Microsoft personal account (Microsoft Account) supports FIDO2/WebAuthn security keys as one of the sign-in and verification methods. After you add imKey Pass S6, you can verify sign-ins and sensitive security actions by plugging in the hardware key and completing local verification (fingerprint/PIN), significantly improving phishing resistance and account protection.

Before you start

Please make sure you have the following ready:

1. A way to connect a USB-C security key (if your device only has USB-A, use a high-quality adapter).
2. imKey Pass S6 is working properly.
3. It’s recommended that you have already configured a PIN and enrolled your fingerprints on your computer.

1. Add imKey Pass S6 to your Microsoft Account (Web, recommended)

1. Open the Microsoft Account page and sign in normally.
2. Go to Security → Manage how l sign in.

3. Click Add another way to sign in to your account.

4. Choose Face, fingerprint, PIN, or security key (add a new sign-in or verification method).

5. Insert imKey Pass S6. When the passkey prompt appears, select Key ID in the pop-up window.
6. You’ll see “Setting up your passkey…”. Click Next.

7. Follow the prompts and touch the fingerprint sensor to complete registration.

8. After it’s added successfully, name the key (e.g., imKey Pass ) for easier management later.

9. Once finished, confirm the security key appears in the list, and keep at least one backup sign-in/verification method.

2. How and When to Use It?

Once added, the security key will typically be triggered during:

• Signing in to your Microsoft Account on a new device or a new browser
• Accessing security-sensitive pages (e.g., changing security settings, managing verification methods)
• Performing critical actions that require you to prove it’s you

When prompted to use a security key:
Insert imKey Pass S6 → touch the fingerprint sensor (as prompted) → verification completes.

3. Manage or remove your security key

If you want to remove a passkey/security key, go to the Microsoft security options page, find the passkey in the list, select it, and delete it.

⚠️ Strongly recommended: Make sure you still have another available sign-in/verification method before removing the security key, so you don’t get locked out of your account.

Important security tips

• Separate primary and backup keys: carry the primary key and store the backup key in a different location.
• Keep PINs Separate: Do not store your PIN together with the physical key to prevent unauthorized access if lost.
• Keep at least one backup verification method: in case the key is lost or damaged.
