You talking about MS authenticator? In what way is that proprietary or spyware?

[-] mark3748@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

They offer other options for Microsoft accounts. Using it as a normal TOTP app is the same as any other Authenticator app.

It’s most likely the number matching requirement that the other person doesn’t like, or their employer has a policy that’s annoying.

Not the OP, but I have to use the stupid Microsoft authenticator for work, and half the time it's hibernated and doesn't wake up when prompted, and when I manually open the "verify login" tab, it spits out an OTP but doesn't recheck for that 2 digit number number I have to enter.

And the login prompt on Windows doesn't have a "resend" button, I can merely click "I don't have access to the authenticator app", and then it offers me the option to... Enter a manual code (courtesy of the authenticator app) or use the authenticator app. Dumb as fuck.

If then I opt for the authenticator app instead of the override code, there's a ~30% chance the app will not accept the new number because it's still expecting the former one, if you're too quick to enter it.

Piece of garbage.
