Two-step authentication using a built-in authenticator

You can use a built-in authenticator that's compatible with the WebAuthn standard as a second factor for logging in to your account. Built-in authenticators are integrated into a device you use as an authenticator. For example, you might set up your device to use biometric data, such as a fingerprint sensor or facial recognition. Some examples of a built-in authenticator are Windows Hello, and AppleTouch ID or Face ID. Alternatively, you might set up your devices to use a password or a PIN. Whatever you use to log in to your device is what you use for this method of two-step authentication.

Built-in authenticators only work on a single device. If you don't want to rely on a mobile device for two-step authentication, then you can choose the built-in authenticator on your laptop or desktop. If you use a built-in authenticator as your primary authentication method to log in to your account, then you should add abackup authentication methodthat doesn't rely on the built-in authenticator. Adding a different backup authentication method than the built-in authenticator lets you to log in to your account on other devices.
