Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✓
Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) authenticator apps (e.g., Google Authenticator)
Why this is correct
TOTP codes generated by authenticator apps are natively supported.

Google Prompts sent to trusted mobile devices
Why this is correct
Google Prompts allow users to tap 'Yes, it's me' on their phone to verify sign-in.
