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?

    While it’s not technically safer, MS does make it a lot easier to set policy’s where you check a box for MSAuth.

    Since the config is less complex and easier, it’s demonstratably safer to implement it this way.

      This could indeed be a valid reasoning. I’m going to investigate a bit. If you can easily cough up some MS documentation page on this topic please do
