It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. (mastodon.world)

We had IT people in at our shop to migrate us over to 365. They wanted me to install Microsoft Authenticator on my personal phone, so I said no. They were able to bypass MFA to sign me up.

I asked them what would happen if someone didn't own a smartphone (crazy I know), they had no answer for me. They basically just looked at me like I asked them the square root of pi.

That's actually a problem where I work. There are people who carry a flip phone because they don't want a smart phone. IT gives them a hard token for 2FA.
