HugeNerd comments on Teams’ invasive Wi‑Fi tracking sparks backlash as users say Microsoft crossed a line — “There must be a team at Microsoft tasked with making Teams worse”

God damn it, at work they pay us to put that stuff on our personal phones... maybe I've been a bit too lenient on that, maybe I should get a work phone.

Never, ever, cross the personal/work barrier. I have seen so much abuse when those lines cross.

I agree, but some places there's simply no option. I have a state job, they will under no circumstances provide a phone, but you must have Authenticator. If you won't or can't use a smartphone, you simply don't have a job.

State jobs are interesting. 3/4 the pay of a regular job, but job security like none other, and you barely have to do anything. I spend most of my time doing my moonlighting job to supplement my income.

FYI, Microslop does support Aegis (fully open source, no spyware) authenticator.

It is buried in the options, but the option is there when adding another MFA device. It won't say Aegis, but just look for the "fuck you, Microslop, I brought my own" option at each stage of adding MFA.

They don't want to support it, but if they drop support, they will drop support for various hardware token vendors at the same time, and they should get thoroughly sued by those vendors, if they do.

In my company they allow you to use duo key as alternate. I’m guessing your company doesn’t? Could be worth asking.
