Smart card pairing prompt does not appear for security key setup

Bumping this thread again as the only answers I've seen for previous posts asking how to resolve the smart card pairing prompt not appearing has been to select pair at the smart card prompt. It does not exist.


Here's the hardware I'm using:


  • 2019 16" MacBook Pro (Intel, T2 security chip)
  • macOS Sonoma 14.4
  • YubiKey 5C NFC (5.4.3)


Thanks in advance!

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.3

Perhaps the Pairing UI was disabled:

sc_auth pairing_ui [-v] [-f] [-s enable|disable|status]


To view status:

sc_auth pairing_ui -s status

To Enable:

sc_auth pairing_ui -s enable
