Sort of.
There are ways to verify both the device being used to access a resource, and the account. This is a good use for TPM. One of the features is attestation, which can be used to do this sort of a thing.
For things like crypto keys, this is why HSM (hardware security module) exist. - they make it very difficult to get access to private key (basically, private key doesn't leave the HSM itself, but other cryptographic artifacts based on that key do).
