Roaming Authenticators

• Roaming authenticators are WebAuthn FIDO2 security keys, such as a Yubikey. They can move from one system you use to another, such as a USB security key you unplug from one laptop and plug into another. They work by plugging into a computer's USB port and sending a signal when tapped or pressed by the user.
