Can I refuse MS Authenticator?
Can I refuse MS Authenticator?
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?
You're viewing a single thread.
You can use Aegis and/or Yubico Authenticator instead, that's what I do.
They said that the option to use other authenticators were disabled by their company
In my company at least, Aegis works for the first few logins, but it will keep nagging you have to switch to Microsoft's authenticator and you're locked out after a while.
My experience with it privately as well, and for Fido2 it says my system/browser is unsupported (Linux/Firefox) when it works on literally every other site.
