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?

    I know Google has a way to “force” you to only use their app, and that’s strictly enforced for personal MFAs (I haven’t verified that recently), I didn’t have that kind of trouble not using the MS one, but I’m not sure my org was as strict as yours on that “force MS” option.
