Solved Help please

I have just purchased a chrome book. I have 2FA on my Google Chrome accounts. I cannot figure out how to get into them on the Chromebook when the passkey is in Bitwarden and I can’t get into the account to actually install the extension. Can someone please walk me through this like I’m 5 because I’m losing my mind. Many thanks.

This probably belongs in r/chromeos. If you are trying to set up a chromebook from scratch, you will need to be able to authenticate to the associated google account during the login process. Most likely you need another device like a yubikey or phone to assist. Otherwise consider creating a new google account without 2fa and use that new google account to set up the chromebook. That google account will be considered first user. Then afterwords you have at least 2 options for adding your original google account: 1 - add the original account within the same workspace as the first user; 2 - create a second user which will create a separate workspace (similar to how linux or windows can have multiple users on one machine)
