Alex Simons,

 

Can you please address this question in this post or make a new post as it will not allow me.  I also tried to PM you but it says you have that turned off.  If there is a more appropriate resource to reach out to please supply that also.

 

We are starting to use the Microsoft Authenticator app more and more in a business only setting and have been happy to see new features being rolled out, backup, and now password sync are 2 big great features but why is Microsoft only making these features available for personal Microsoft Accounts?  We want our users to be able to keep work stuff segmented from their personal lives for security and risk reasons and do not understand why Microsoft security apps constantly try to blur these lines?  Are these features not being offered on Work Microsoft accounts for legal reasons?  Please I would love a discussion as I know this is a big issue but this online forum does not let me create a new post.  So I would appreciate if you could do this on my behalf so we can have an open discussion with all the Microsoft resources.  Thanks
