Following that, you'll need to press the button on the security key to finalize the registration process. Please note that security keys may have varying activation instructions. Your key might require a tap or button press to activate registration.
7. After completing the above steps, a window displaying backup (emergency) codes will appear. It's essential to write down these codes in case you're unable to access your security key. Once done, select the "I wrote it down" option from the drop-down list. Then, click "Saved, let's finish" to complete the process.
