  2FA is not just for work.

    Sure but you can use your own choice of 2FA software for your own stuff

    Yeah but that’s the worst app to use if you have a choice. There are a dozen better options.

  I wont use my personal phone for anything work related except authentication. Since it sits in its own little jail, it’s fine.

  I work all over the world and remote in. I have no other work related devices or equipment.

  I look at it as a key card from the old days when I had to go into a building. I think that is a pretty trivial use case and doesn’t need them to provide a phone, and in fact I absolutely would not want a device owned by anyone else that I carried around. That is FAR worse.

  That said, this change sucks as I will now need to get around this bullshit. But that is doable.

      Great, what does that have to do with the authenticator supposedly only being for work?

      • waggz@programming.dev ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        because you said anyone who plays Minecraft had to use it too. you do not. but some people are required to for work. therefore they only have to use it for work. do you get it now or do i need to eli5 it for you more?

      only if the company sets it up that way.

  Better yet, if your work requires you to have Microsoft Authenticator, tell them that they need to provide you with a device capable of using it.

  Instead of spending your own money on a burner phone just for that, make your work pay for it.
