So they issued you a company provided phone for this work specific functionality?

You haven't confirmed WHY they have a flip phone.

If you're using a flip phone in this day and age, then it's not about the money.

YES! Immense waste of money. But I’m one out of hundreds that avoided a corporate iPhone for years. I hate it.

Why would the company only issue you a flip phone if the Authenticator the require doesn't run on it?

The company didn't issue any phone. They want GP to install authenticator on their private phone and GP tried to softly refuse by lying (I think) they only own a flip phone. It didn't work.

There are authenticator extensions for web browsers.

Unapproved by the company.

So its their device you are using? otherwise how to they know what authenticator you are using? Most use the same standard.

Bank has its own Authenticator app. That’s how.

Except Microsoft Authenticator. That's what my company uses and this is the only reason I ever use my work phone.

Depends on the technology used - not everything is TOTP.
