Microsoft Authenticator, Librem 5, and Security

Although Microsoft Authenticator app is capable of the TOTP function, my company turned it off and required that the only permitted manner to log in is with the Push Notification to Unlock, which is incompatible with TOTP and only works through the app.

I think I am in the same situation - and I was unfortunately well aware of the distinctions to be made.

My point was that someone might be in the situation of having to use the Microsoft Authenticator but they are allowed to use TOTP, in which case what I said applies.

Annoyingly, I can see that TOTP runs continuously while the Microsoft Authenticator app is being used.
