So my company decided to migrate office suite and email etc to Microsoft365. Whatever. But for 2FA login they decided to disable the option to choose “any authenticator” and force Microsoft Authenticator on the (private) phones of both employees and volunteers. Is there any valid reason why they would do this, like it’s demonstrably safer? Or is this a battle I can pick to shield myself a little from MS?

    Maintain a veil of separation between personal and business. Just say you can’t install it.

    They must then provide you with needed hardware.

    Just say you don’t have a smartphone…you have a flip phone…doesn’t matter.

    And don’t fall for the argument that companies require ties also, they can require cell phones… Not at all same thing.
