Flaw has Microsoft Authenticator overwriting MFA accounts, locking users out

And you have to do the "use another app" dance on every single login too... You know I have TOTP setup, you know I'm not using MS Authenticator.

To make matters worse(?), I have not been able to login to Teams at all in the last two weeks. I select "use another app" ... and nothing happens. Sigh.

It is astonishing how bad we can make software today. We used to at least try.

Works On My Machine (tm), your org's admin team probably missed a hidden checkbox that gets moved around between admin pages every odd hour (except on days divisible by 4, where it's missing entirely) (except during chinese new year) (except when that overlaps with a leap year) (except when an odd-numbered amount of users has the wrong license), but you can probably also do it powershell (except it's undocumented) (and deprecated)

...yeah, I don't know either why peopler dislike modern Microsoft.
