Windows Hello for Business - PIN reset - methods to verify the user

With the WHFB deployment in an enterprise environment (trying to move to password less)

In the PIN reset flow (from locked machine, user forgot PIN Scenario) while the user tries to reset the PIN by select "Forgot PIN" option, the user is asked to verify themselves with Password.

Question is is there any configuration option anywhere to remove the password as user verification method and add other methods like MS authenticator or FIDO based authentication methods.

Thanks in advance
