# Windows

By default, Windows will want you to use "Windows Hello" to create and manage your Passkey. This will prompt you to create a PIN that will be required for all Passkey authorizations.

This is an example of the Passkey creation pop-up for Windows:

If you want your Passkey saved locally on your Windows device, simply enter a PIN and you're set! All Passkey authorizations will be required on your Windows device. This method has been tested and has worked well, but will limit you to your Windows device for Passkey authorizations.

If you would like to save the Passkey elsewhere, select "Use another device" and Windows will also provide the following options:

Selecting "iPhone, iPad, or Android device" will create a QR code for you to scan with your mobile device as seen here (our example with Windows uses an Android device):

Once scanned and confirmed on your mobile device, you will receive the following confirmation:
