Is it possible to set up 2fa/yubikey with only with a windows laptop?
To use a yubikey, it seems like you have to enable 2FA.
It seems the only way to enable 2FA is to download authy or a microsoft phone app down to the phone.
This seems to create a set of trust...

Hi GreyM1P,
Thanks so much for your answer. I didn't realize this could be done, and it is exactly what I was looking for.
However, I had already gone ahead and installed "authy" on the phone and have used it to add my laptop and desktop pc.
But I dont like having stuff on my phone in general, especially security related stuff.
Is there an advantage to using "authy" on the phone as opposed to removing it and using 1Password?
If I want to remove authy and use my 1Password for two-factor auth, how would I do that?
Would I turn off 2fa in my account at 1Password.com, then remove authy from the phone, then turn 2fa back on and do the setup you describe?
Is it worth it at this point, or is it best to just to leave things as is and move on?
Would it affect my Yubikey if I changed it?
Note I only have set up 2fa on 1Password and Yubikey, no other accounts yet.
Thanks, Sford
