PSA, don't use Microsoft authenticator. It's easy to accidentally wipe your cloud backup and lose all your authenticator codes when switching devices
Yes, and while you can move it phone to phone on iOS, you cannot on Android. So stupid.
If you are forced to use it by your company just use it for that email, nothing else. Use something like authy instead.
Authy requires a phone number last I checked & is a part of a for-profit entity. TOTP management is a simple task so there is no reason not to be using something open source.
