2. If you want to register a Passkey on your Yubikey device,  then give it a name that you can recognize later.   If the purpose is to only PIN protect your Yubikey,  the device name is not important.&#x20;

3. Once you hit "Continue",  you'll be presented with a screen asking "where" to store the "Passkey".   You will want to select "Use a different phone, tablet, or security key"
