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.
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?
I didn’t say anybody who played Minecraft had to use it. You’re just bad at reading. Do I need to walk you through the sentence like you’re five, or are you done beating your chest like a teenager?
Why the fuck would you use a personal phone for work?
Get some cheap alternative and put the authenticator on that phone and say that is your main phone.
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.

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.
you don’t just use authenticator for work. anybody who plays Minecraft uses it.
uh no? you can set up any number of mfa methods for a Microsoft account…
Great, what does that have to do with the authenticator supposedly only being for work?
