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?
And here I am wishing they would come out with an authenticator watch app, so I didn’t have to do all the work of taking my phone out of my pocket and swiping a few times.
What’s needed is an online 2fa service that just takes a username and copies the code to the clipboard.
/s before I get any replies.
It used to exist, and it was glorious!
😮
The burden…
It’s my lot in life…
Quick question, am I the only one to take my phone out of my pocket and put it on the desk or on a stand? All my colleagues place their phones on their desks as well. Are we weird? At home I have a charging stand.
I work from home. I’m lucky if I can find my phone more than 65% of the time
lol, that makes more sense then.
I have a Google Home device that I can ask “where’s my phone?” and my phone will start to ring. Very handy when I’m in a rush.
Oh I can do this (and do) with my iPhone, but I hate to have to have to, it feels like giving up lol
