It is the same company that want to stop SMS 2fa to force you to use their shitty authenticator app.

SMS 2FA is the worst factor because of how insecure and phishable the phone network is, it deserves to die out where possible

But they could allow other 2fa apps, but they force their shitty one.

They now support passkeys with things other than their shitty app. I use 1Password, and it works fine.

I've also had a yubikey for a long time and can't be bothered to type in codes, so I didn't know their shitty app did OTP or even that OTP was actually a possibility for MS accounts.
