    It depends…. Your company IT department can choose what types of 2FA are available to use and Microsoft Authenticator is separate from OTP and other methods, and it is possible to restrict them.

    That’s also yet another reason why I force the issue of a company phone as part of my equipment to do my job.

      Work isn’t an excuse unless your work is trying to cut corners by having you use your personal phone instead of providing a work one. In which case they deserve to be taught this lesson for being cheap as fuck.

      Your IT should be issuing you a phone handled by MDM, which should be locked down and not allow you to use a rooted or jailbroken device anyway.
