Microsoft Services and 2FA changes, requiring me to logon more frequently than before

I am a Belgian living on the border with the Netherlands, and doing remote work from home - Belgium - and work in the Netherlands. Recently I have to login to my teams and outlook accounts much more often using 2FA.

I have a remote desktop computer at work, which I can access via VPN and RDP, and a local computer at home. I use both systems to login to teams and/or outlook with my ACA account (******@aca.nl). Previously all was acceptable ok, and I had to login to teams and or outlook using 2FA once a while.
But recently this has become an annoying number of times. It nearly seams when I authenticate on my work computer (when using RDP from my home computer) and login to teams, my home computer (not via VPN connected), ask to login again.

It's nice Microsoft attempts to make all more secure. But could the 'system' not 'learn' normal behaviour, and accept both machines at the same time after, I do a number of valid login's from both locations using 2FA?

I know this question will not lead an immediate solution, but I just want you to know about my annoyance, so you could improve this in the future.

    I would suggest contacting your IT department/IT administrator because everything you are describing is under your IT Administrator control.
