Asked By CuriousGeek2023 On

I powered on my PC today and discovered that I'm logged out of all my accounts. After some digging, I found that this could be related to Secure Boot. I noticed that my keys are showing as "Forbidden Signatures." Is there a way to recover these? I reset the Secure Boot, and while most things are back to normal, I'm still not logged into any websites. I have doubts about whether that's recoverable.

Always be cautious when making changes in the BIOS or to your disk setup, as you could risk losing data. It’s vital to regularly test your backups. Any critical changes should be approached carefully.

If your passkeys were using the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and you reset the TPM while adjusting Secure Boot settings, they would also reset, meaning you’ll need to re-enroll them. Make sure you have any recovery or alternative login methods set up for your accounts, and it's a good idea to keep your usernames and passwords stored securely. If you can't access your login info or a recovery method, recovery might be hard unless customer support can step in.
