EDIT: You know, after some time to cool off, Google Authenticator 2FA can still be enabled and isn’t being phased out like the less secure SMS 2FA, so it’s really not the end of the world here. The chance of permanent lockout is avoided, even if the whole Google Prompt system is still wack.

    This is like uninstalling Windows, installing Linux, and then blaming Microsoft because a feature you used in Windows doesn’t work in Linux

      No, this is

      • buying a surface from Microsoft
      • immediately wiping it and installing Linux
      • Microsoft then forcing you to authenticate using the device that is only tied to your account via purchase, and NOT login records, AND disabling other forms of auth

      If installing linux was a feature sold to you by Microsoft, and then Microsoft removed the ability for the feature to work on Linux, then that would be accurate.

      It’s like installing Linux, then Microsoft not allowing you to access GitHub from any device.
