    I’ve had a company require employees to install MDM on personal phones (remote control/management) to be allowed to use them for 2fa app or email access… there was a surprised Pikachu when I refused. Eventually they issued me a company phone, because it was impossible to do most tasks without 2fa. That device was on 9 to 5 only.

      Remote control of your personal phone for work? That sounds dodgey, I would definitely refuse. Would anyone actually accept that?

      Also, 2fa is a really shit excuse for that.

        Over 98% did. My job was security adjacent so I’ve had some insight into those metrics

          I work in IT and endpoint management is among my tasks. Knowing the things we can do to smartphones that are controlled by our mdm is enough to where I would never agree to having thatopn my personal device. I even refused to get a company provided smartphone.
