Login to local Windows Account using Nitrokey 3

[anotherbridge]

So far I couldn't find any way to enable a Windows login with a local account. I tried an authentication using a User certificate but that didn't seem to be possible for a local account. Further, under the sign-in options I could see a security key and the Nitrokey 3 was detected. I could also change the PIN, but it wouldn't let me set it up for a login.

Is it possible to perform a local account login? If so, what is the procedure for that?

So far we know there is no way to do this without additional software that integrates the Nitrokey 3 into the Windows login-process. This means as of now there is no way to achieve this for windows. The most standard conformant way would be to use FIDO2 for that, but as it seems this is not available for standalone windows machines (yet?).

It is possible a) with PIV and on-premise Active Directory resp. EntraID and b) with FIDO2 and Azure.
