ATM card, physical Fido key, PIV Cert in a cert slot. Please 1P_Timothy how can we get a hardware item or something that handles yubico keys, atm cards, laptops, etc...

Community ManagerHi aszajlai, thanks for joining the conversation.
As I mentioned in my previous reply, if you have a specific use case in mind it's typically best to start with the item type with the most cross over, then customize it to suite your needs. If you use the credentials to sign in anywhere digitally, I would recommend a Login item type.
For PINs getting flagged by Watchtower, there are a couple options. Watchtower checks the default password field in Login and Password items, so if you're starting with one of those items you could add a secondary field and save the PIN there. Alternatively you can just select the "Ignore" button in the watchtower alert banner.
