So, I work a corporate job and I have to use MFA to login to my accounts. The problem is, I can’t use any other app other than Microsoft Authenticator to use, I’ve tried using Aegis or Google Authenticator or a couple of other ones, all I see is can’t use this app or something similar.

Any workaround to this?

I don’t mind using Microsoft Authenticator, but having someone tell me I can only use that kinda irks me to an unbelievable extent.

Thanks!

    Microsoft Authenticator does more than just TOTP codes. It allows IT departments to push https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/apps/app-management instead of MDM on personal devices.

    For apps like Outlook, Teams, and OneNote the app data can be wiped without wiping the whole phone.

    For any of that to work, Microsoft Authenticator has to be used as the “broker” for that authentication.
