So my company decided to migrate office suite and email etc to Microsoft365. Whatever. But for 2FA login they decided to disable the option to choose “any authenticator” and force Microsoft Authenticator on the (private) phones of both employees and volunteers. Is there any valid reason why they would do this, like it’s demonstrably safer? Or is this a battle I can pick to shield myself a little from MS?

    I don’t care whether it stores the location. The problem is that it sends it to your employer. And so do all Microsoft apps. Teams for example makes full reports for managers to peruse about all kinds of information taken from each employee’s device, including location and whether they were using the device and when.
