Microsoft decides it will be the one to choose which secure login method you use
hmm, Authenticator is open source (https://github.com/mattrubin/Authenticator). 2FA is also available in open source key manager program such as KeePass.
When it comes to 2FA, I would rather trust open source apps vs the ones made by Google/MS.

Any chance that hacker can access to other devices through wifi network?
You can prevent the LOLbin from contacting its C2 server by using an tool like FirewallHardening which you can download here, it allows you to add firewall block rules in Windows Firewall to prevent LOLbins from phoning home, not only .NET framework files but also things like Powershell and ConHost which are abused by the majority of malware.

For keeping malware off your machine Windows Defender and some common sense should be perfectly fine, although I would recommend running ConfigureDefender and choosing whatever security level you find most appropriate for your use case. Also if you ever suspect you have malware that Defender didn't detect, just download the free version of malwarebytes, do a quick scan and uninstall it again; it's highly unlikely that something would make it past both of them.

What Is The Best Free AntiVirus For Windows 11?
Windows 11 built-in security is quite good, particularly when paired with the likes of ConfigureDefender or DefenderUI which allows you to tweak the built-in protection https://github.com/AndyFul/ConfigureDefender but there are third party options out there. Andy Ful also has system hardening tools that add an extra layer of protection but there have been some compatibility issues with windows new SmartApp Control feature https://github.com/AndyFul/Hard_Configurator/tree/master/Simple%20Windows%20Hardening .
