Accessible authentication and "transcription"

for

Greetings,

I have a question about 3.3.8 Accessible Authentication (AA), specifically
about “transcribing” information. Let’s say a user is trying to sign in on
their laptop and a 2-factor mechanism requires them to use one-time code
received/generated on their phone. Is this an acceptable solution, since it
requires them to type (transcribe?) the code on their laptop?

Thanks!
Damon
