If you're using a USB security key, try plugging it into a different USB port.

Reboot and check if that fixes the issue.

Answer

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

You can use security keys as a passwordless sign-in method within your organization. A security key is a physical device that's used with a unique PIN to sign in to your work or school account. Because security keys require you to have the physical device and something that only you know, it's considered a stronger verification method than a username and password.

Your administrator or your organization will provide you with a security key if they require it for your work or school account.in this situation, you can try to contact your administrator or organization's to reset your USB device to see if it will work.
