2. Available Authentication Methods
The following three authentication methods are available for multi-factor authentication:
1. FIDO Authentication
FIDO authentication is also called password-less authentication, and password input is not required. A representative example is Windows Hello.
Login takes less effort and has strong resistance to phishing attacks.

“Google Authenticator” or “Microsoft Authenticator” can be used.
