This, but specifically because of Microsoft Authenticator. I hate this app so damn much. [I’m forced to use it] not with TOTP tokens, but push-notification based ones which arrive only sometimes and are slow. And then it’s mocking me saying “pull to refresh if you don’t see a notification”, but there is no pull to refresh feature. Oh and Microsoft Azure Portal? It asks you to authenticate twice in a row, just to be sure. Burn burn burn
I tried MS Authenticator after creating a business account with me as the admin, and it let me enroll and then immediately gave me a device untrusted error (I’m rooted, sue me, but there’s no warning or way to tell that’s not allowed) which then login-looped every recovery option to try to re-enroll or remove the 2FA, requiring me to file a ticket and manually prove who I am which took 48-hours.
Just the fact that they let me sign up before pulling the rug and revoking access with a hidden, time-bomb fail condition, really impressed me. It takes work to be that evil.
That sounds horrible. I hate that steam requires me to use their app instead of the authenticator app I use for everything else but at least it works every time

Some companies let you use TOTP instead of the app, look in the dashboard and select the verification mode that gives you the qr code

I feel this. And the endless fucking prompt to log in. Several times a day. Everywhere. We should bill Microsoft for the time lost.
Only for its “cloud saves” to suddenly forget everything after switching devices 🤦♀️️ I’d upvote 3 times if i could
