Compeletly agree with all on this thread - I DO NOT WANT TO AUTH APP - would like the choice to have text code - PLEASE can we have this back
Please help me get rid of Microsoft Authentication
"Not now" has disappeared for us now and it's causing havoc. I can't get my job done and people don't want to use it which I don't mind.
I can't even access the Multifactor authentication part of Azure Mike mentioned because I need a "Premium" licence.
Does one of these settings disable the authenticator app?
We're in the same position as most of you. We don't want the authenticator app. MFA is working just fine for us. Being forced to use that will be a real PITA. We have a lot of non-tech savvy users. Changing anything requires a lot of hand-holding. And our users are spread out over 4 counties so not all in the same building either (~325 users).
I've already gone through the process of seting up the authenticator app when the prompt no longer allowed me to click on "Not now" and it was NOT very user friendly. I've turned it off but now I'm back to answering the same prompt as before. I'm wondering how long "Not now" will be available and I have to go through the same process of setting up the authenticator app. ARGH!
