Flaw has Microsoft Authenticator overwriting MFA accounts, locking users out

I have many accounts with the same user names, and they don't get overwritten. There might be some design flaw somewhere, but it's surely not what the article states, ie. that you cannot have the same username on different sites.

Same. I mean I don’t doubt some bug exists, but I use it on iOS, almost always with QR codes and the same email address with no issues. I quite like the product. I switched from Google and it’s been much better.

I am sure whatever is going on, it’s a bug and not a feature.
