MFA authentication setups that don't support standard authenticator apps, like 1Password or Google Authenticator can burn.

Yes, Microsoft, I am looking at you.

    @dontbeevil Yes, those apps implement standards and can be used interchangeably. I've moved my accounts between them to test them out.

    @dontbeevil MS Authenticator can add other providers because other providers implement a standard.

    Other authenticators can not implement MS auth because #justmicrosoftthings

    I dont get it... Sure they have their own thing but I am still using googles authenticator for logging into ms so they arent locking anyone out?

    @galena the default second factor is with the authenticator app, which displays an notification. This method is used by multiple applications/companies, but this has no standard that you can implement yourself.
