If this is for a M365 account you don't have to use the Microsoft authenticator. It'll nag every login but it'll let you use a different authenticator. I set up my college email last year with Duo as the 2FA because I already needed Duo for work, and it was fine
I attempted to use Aegis and there was an error popping up that said Microsoft's 2fa is proprietary and isn't supported.
What you do is when you're setting up the 2FA token in M365 select the type of 2FA since it supports a wide variety of 2FA types, including SMS
It was only the proprietary 2fa and sms. I'd rather do the totp.
Huh I had not realized that. Like I said, I used Duo just because I already needed it for work
