It's a dark pattern but you can use any MFA provider with Microsoft services.

    Not necessarily. Microsoft's authenticator has an option where you have to tap a notification to approve, which isn't a standard TOTP thing. If your company requires that version of MFA, you pretty much have to use Microsoft's authenticator.

    Aw shit, this sucks because my company uses this authentication method.

    I guess when the change finally happens I'll just be saying 'you owe me a phone for this'. Absolutely no way i am going back to Android just for this on my personal phone.

    One possible workaround is to add more options to your security info in your work account. For example, I added my number and also a specific password as an option last year when I moved onto Graphene and had to update that info. Would that be an option?

    Unsure if that would even work or if those options are more for account recovery (when no longer have access to a specific device)

    If it cane down to it, I'm sure you could find an old phone or tablet to use just for that for work.
