My last couple of laptops had integrated fingerprint readers, and I used 
that for login, when shopping for this machine I had to choose one 
without fingerprint to get other features I wanted ... ho hum.

Anyway, I don't like face unlock, and got quite pissed off with the 
number of times a day I have to enter my pretty complex password, so 
decided to buy a FIDO2 security key with fingerprint reader.

This Kensington one seemed up to the job

Plugged in the dongle, recognised without needing a driver, enrolled my 
fingerprint and set a PIN, so far so good.

Locked the PC, expecting that "security key" would be added as a new 
method on the lock screen along with password/pin/face unlock

But no, I can't logon or unlock using the key. This is a Windows11 Home 
PC (so can't belong to a domain) it all seems to want to use Microsoft 
Entra to login, is there any way to do this on a "Home" pc?

Was also expecting my Password Manager (EnPass) which accepts Windows 
Hello would also unlock using the security key, but no dice there either

Anyone get similar working?
