Can I refuse MS Authenticator? (lemmy.ml)

So my company decided to migrate office suite and email etc to Microsoft365. Whatever. But for 2FA login they decided to disable the option to choose "any authenticator" and force Microsoft Authenticator on the (private) phones of both employees and volunteers. Is there any valid reason why they would do this, like it's demonstrably safer? Or is this a battle I can pick to shield myself a little from MS?

I work from home. I'm lucky if I can find my phone more than 65% of the time

lol, that makes more sense then.

I have a Google Home device that I can ask "where's my phone?" and my phone will start to ring. Very handy when I'm in a rush.

Oh I can do this (and do) with my iPhone, but I hate to have to have to, it feels like giving up lol
