If you use MS Authenticator you can enable geofencing for SSO. If it’s enabled then no other TOTP apps will work.

Isn’t Microsoft Authenticator just a password manager and TOTP app? You can replace it with Bitwarden and Aegis (or a dozen alternatives).

I’ve worked places where they required specific TOTP apps. That’s the only reason I had MS Authenticator on my phone

You could keep it on your phone, but it is just a shared secret that you could store in a different authenticator.

Some workplaces disable the ability to enroll TOTP codes and forces the use of MS Authenticator.

My old job force migrated everyone to Okta the week it got breached

Yep exactly. Luckily I’m not longer working at one, so I can uninstall it.

IIRC the Microsoft TOTP has an (obviously) incompatible format that you can’t store in Bitwarden.
Bitwarden being the only acceptable application for me, I would ask for a work phone if I had to use the Microsoft thing.

the hard part is being able to export them from some apps (looking at you, authy…)
