+# Add or Replace LUKS YubiKey
+
+> Create a reliable backup of your files!
+
+This chapter describes how to add a new YubiKey or replace an YubiKey for an already encrypted LUKS volume.
+
+You need these things:
+- Your current (old) YubiKey
+- Your new Yubikey
+- Make sure YubiKey login is disabled
+
+> This is only needed if you don't have the secret key of your current YubiKey
+and if you want to replace it with another YubiKey or to add a second different YubiKey.
+See *Replace a faulty YubiKey* if you want to initialize a new YubiKey with the secret key.
+
+> If you are changing the passphrase of your new YubiKey, don't forget to update the *YKFDE_CHALLENGE* in `/etc/ykfde.conf`
+
+Prepare your new YubiKey like described in chapter *03: Prepare 2nd slot* if not already done.
+
+Display current used LUKS key slots with `cryptsetup luksDump /dev/[device 4th partition]`.
+
+## Disable YubiKey login
+
+If you use YubiKey login, disable it and reread chapter *07: Enable YubiKey Login* after this procedure.
+To disable YubiKey login open the file `/etc/pam.d/system-auth` and comment out the line:
+
+```
+auth   required        pam_yubico.so mode=challenge-response chalresp_path=/var/yubico
+```
+
+Use another tty to test it.
+
+## Add an YubiKey to LUKS
+
+Execute `ykfde-enroll -d /dev/[device 4th partition] -s [keyslot_number] -o`. The option `-o` uses the old YubiKey
+for the passphrase. Ensure your new YubiKey is inserted, you will be asked to insert the old YubiKey.
+
+## Killing a LUKS key slot
+
+> Ensure you are not killing a wrong key slot and make sure another key slot is working.
+
+To test which YubiKey belongs to which key slot execute `ykfde-open -d /dev/[device 4th partition] -s [keyslot_number] -t`.
+
+Execute `ykfde-enroll -d /dev/[device 4th partition] -s [keyslot_number] -k`.  The option `-k` kills the slot.
+
+## Replacing existing LUKS key slot
+
+> It is recommended to add a new YubiKey to another slot and kill the other slot if all things work.
+
+Execute `ykfde-enroll -d /dev/[device 4th partition] -s [keyslot_number] -o -c `. The option `-c` changes the key slot.

+

+
+## Open INTEL AMT
+To open INTEL AMT press *CTRL + P* on boot. The default password is *admin* and
+you should change it to a secure one. You will be ask to change the password
+on the first login.
+
+## Disable Intel Management Engine State Control
+Next step is to [Disable Intel Management Engine State Control](https://www.dell.com/support/article/de/de/debsdt1/sln295179/disable-intel-amt-intel-management-engine-state-control?lang=en).

+1. Choose *Intel ME General Settings* from menu
+1. Choose *Intel ME State Control* from menu
+1. Choose *Disable*
+1. Choose *Previous* from menu
+
+The machine will reboot now. You can still access INTEL AMT but if you

+
+## Disable INTEL AMT in BIOS
+> **Attention:** Depending on the used INTEL AMT version you **can not**

+For Lenovo notebooks it's under the menu *Config*. Choose *Disable* and save BIOS settings.
+
+## Validate password protection
+Now it's time to check, if the password is reset if you enable it again. Go into BIOS and enable
+INTEL AMT, save changes and open INTEL AMT with *CTRL + P*. Enable it again, the machine will reboot.
+Go into INTEL AMT with *CTRL + P* and now you should not be able to login with password *admin*.
+Now start from scratch and disable it again.
