    Most companies now are being shepherded into Microsoft 365’s walled garden by their security teams. Edge is the only “secure” browser now, Teams the only “secure” chat app, Microsoft Authenticator (specifically Microsoft’s app, not DUO or anything else) is the only “secure” way to implement MFA, etc.

    It’s genuinely sad how many security professionals have been shanghaied into Microsoft salesmen.

      By secure they mean “the only way we can easily see everything you do”

      We had IT people in at our shop to migrate us over to 365. They wanted me to install Microsoft Authenticator on my personal phone, so I said no. They were able to bypass MFA to sign me up.

      I asked them what would happen if someone didn’t own a smartphone (crazy I know), they had no answer for me. They basically just looked at me like I asked them the square root of pi.

        That’s actually a problem where I work. There are people who carry a flip phone because they don’t want a smart phone. IT gives them a hard token for 2FA.
