If your device is lost, stolen, damaged, or otherwise unavailable, you can suspend it so it cannot grant anyone access to the identity; and from the same interface, you can resume it once it’s ready to be used again.
Tip
If you no longer have the device and no longer want it in your accounts, then opt to revoke the device rather than disable it.
