I think if that's the case, I'd get an inexpensive phone with a prepaid plan... and make it clear that it gets turned off if not on call or otherwise pre-arranged.
This is what it's heading to eventually. This "authentication using a personal device that the IT department can't control" crap will eventually evolve into "they must control the device". Which means they just need to quit being cheap and buy devices they can manage for this purpose.
Or leave it in the office, always on charge, and with no lock screen so anyone can take the phone and accept a request
That sounds like a terrible security practice but at least it only puts your company at risk
That's the point. Malicious compliance.
The app will enforce a lock screen.

You should get your lemmy checked for dementia
I think my instance is having an issue
No need for a prepaid plan I haven't used the MS authentication but almost all 2FA apps actually don't need Internet access (apart from the initial setup). I would just graph some old phone and connect it to WiFi.
