Plan your Primary and Backup Keys
Answer a few questions to see a setup that fits how you use and store your Security Keys.
- How many Keys you may need
- What each Key is for
- Where to keep your Backups
How NOPKEY works
Plan your Keys. Record what they protect. See what needs attention.
See how many Primary and Backup Keys fit your needs, give each physical Key a clear identity, and record where it is used. NOPKEY then shows what may need attention.
01Plan your Keys
02Identify each Key
03Record what it protects
04See what needs attention
Four simple steps
From a setup plan to a clear next step.
Plan the setup, identify each physical Key, record what it protects, and see what may need attention.
Identify each physical Key
Create a NOPKEY ID for each Key so you can open the correct record by scanning or entering its ID.
- Create and print your own ID Label
- Use an official durable ID Label
- Scan on a phone or enter the ID on a computer
Record what each Key protects
Name the physical Key, choose its role, and record the accounts and services where you use it.
- Key name, model, and role
- Accounts and services it protects
- Where the physical Key is kept
You maintain these records. NOPKEY does not independently check third-party accounts.
See what needs attention
NOPKEY compares your plan with your records to highlight services with no Backup Key recorded and Key records that may need review.
- Services with no Backup Key recorded
- Key records that may be outdated
- Services affected by loss or replacement
One physical identity
Scan one label. Open the right Key record.
A NOPKEY ID connects the Security Key in your hand to its private management record.
NOPKEY ID
The label opens the record.
Scan the QR code on a phone, or enter the printed ID on a computer. After sign-in, you can view and maintain the correct Key record.

The ID identifies a record. It does not unlock the Security Key or any account.
What NOPKEY helps you see
Four useful answers from the same Key records.
Record each detail once. NOPKEY connects it to the questions that matter later.
Find Keys by service
Search an account or service and see which physical Keys are recorded for it.
See how your Keys work together
See which Primary and Backup Keys belong together for the same purpose.
Services without a Backup Key
See which services are recorded on a Primary Key but have no Backup Key recorded.
What a lost or replaced Key affects
See which services may need action and what still needs to move to a replacement Key.
Real situations
See how a record becomes a clear next step.
These examples show the kind of guidance NOPKEY can produce from the records you maintain.
No Backup Key recorded

How guidance is created
You record the facts. NOPKEY shows the answers.
NOPKEY never asks for passwords or Security Key PINs and does not independently check third-party accounts.
You record
What you know about each Key
Only the management details needed to keep the physical Key understandable.
- Key name, model, role, and Primary and Backup group
- Accounts and services where you use it
- Where the physical Key is kept
- Whether it is active, lost, replaced, or retired
NOPKEY shows
What may need your attention
Useful answers calculated from the records you maintain.
- Which physical Keys are recorded for each service
- Where a Backup has not been recorded
- Which records may need review
- What loss or replacement may affect
Based on the records you maintain. Check changes in the actual account or service.
When a Key changesWhat happens if a Key is Lost, Available again, Replaced, or Retired?
A Key record stays useful as its status changes, so you can understand what happened and what may still need action.
ActiveKeep its identity, role, services, and location up to date.
LostSee affected services and begin recovery or replacement.
Available againReturn it to use and review changes already made.
ReplacedTrack services that still need the new Key.
RetiredKeep its history without counting it toward your Personal Security Key limit.
NOPKEY keeps the record and history together. It does not remove a lost or replaced Key from third-party accounts for you.
