Remarks
A companion device is a device that cannot act as a standalone authenticator but can function as a companion to an authenticator for better user experience. The companion device must have a corresponding UWP app that can receive authentication information from the device (such as biometric info) and pass it on to the main device through the APIs in this namespace.
