|-|-|
| ![Hardware key icon]() | Hardware keys are physical hardware that you can use to authenticate. Hardware keys are inserted into a port on your device to provide authentication. For details on registering hardware keys, see [Register a hardware security key](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/9CC2Jh_QFLlIQkCqf8HRNQ "Register a hardware key to use as part of your MFA login."). |
|   | Biometric authenticators use fingerprint or facial recognition to identify users. Your users can use these authenticators on their devices as part of the multi-factor login process. For details on registering biometric authenticators, see [Register a biometric authenticator](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/zA4c2P_j6LIWvEo_ycWgyA "Register a biometric authenticator to use as part of your MFA login."). |
