Yes, and while you can move it phone to phone on iOS, you cannot on Android. So stupid.
If you are forced to use it by your company just use it for that email, nothing else. Use something like authy instead.
If your company forced you to use mobile authentication, they should also be providing you with a device on the company plan at no cost to the employee.
In which case you should absolutely use MS Auth and give them all your delicious work data because nothing personal should be on the device anyway.
Authy requires a phone number last I checked & is a part of a for-profit entity. TOTP management is a simple task so there is no reason not to be using something open source.
