Can someone be good enough to post what the new macOS Authenticator looks like? I'm wondering what the actual UI looks like and where it is in the OS? For example, if I'm logging into an account on a website and it asks me for my 2FA code, where in macOS Monterey do I find that and what does the UI look like?

Thanks!
 
It just appears like the regular auto-fill UI, right inline.

Thanks. Can I ask how you set up the macOS Authenticator? For example, using the Google Authenticator app you scan a QR code. How do you add accounts on a Mac? And where do you add accounts to the macOS Authenticator? Safari?

You can do it either in the Safari preferences or in the Passwords pane in System Preferences. Either way, there's an "Enter Setup Key" button when you view an account. You just paste in the key there. On iOS you can scan the QR code; on the Mac you can also right click on the QR code on the website and there's an option to add the key from the context menu.
