Can I use security keys for a PC?
I would like to purchase a security key, however, I use a PC, not a MAC, and it looks like the only security key options are for MACS. Is this the case, or will the adapter work?
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

CAUTION: DO note that if you elect to use security keys, they become the ONLY means of 2FA for your AppleID.
Meaning that if - for example - your iPhone is lost, damaged, or stolen; you MUST have physical access to one of your pre-registered hardware security keys in order to sign-in the replacement phone to your AppleID.
Restated: NONE the “other” methods to receive or generate 2FA Verification Codes as described in THIS document will work IF Security Keys are installed:
