    I can’t. The authenticator for my job was set up on my work device by my IT department.

      If your work requires you to have a Microsoft Authenticator-compatible device, they should provide you with one.

          Which would never be rooted or jailbroken in the first place so why even bring it up in this this context?

              Because I also have my normal phone as a backup for this purpose in case out in the field something happens to my work phone. And my personal phone is rooted.

      Sucks to have that. Have you tried asking IT if you could use a different one?

        The main problem as I see it is if I have to download authenticator onto my personal device because something has happened to my work device. That’s the only way I could see this being a problem since I use Graphene OS on my personal phone. Even then I would probably just use the authenticator on my work computer rather than going to that trouble.

            I have a yubikey (two actually, one from a previous employer). New company won’t actually let me use it.
