luvsql Plus not all employees have cell phones - some choose not to [by necessity or preference]. Also there is the issue of people leaving and trying to get access to accounts - that has been a headache - even with resetting accounts - especially on non-MS apps used by the company that are shared log-in but only able to have the one MFA.

Well with the recent update I even have employees that have a smart phone but its not quite up to date enough to download the app, so they are also just out of luck? The fact that we purchased software, and this was rolled out after, is a joke.

webapt - go to amazon and look for -
Token2 miniOTP-2-i programmable Two-Factor Security Token with time sync
these worked great for us. Super easy. You just have to get the token2 NFC burner app on your phone. It basically reflashes the card to behave as an authenticator app.
- webaptOct 09, 2023Copper ContributorDo you have a link for the token2 token card you suggest trying?

acjohns1986 Seriously, buy one of the token2 token cards on amazon and give that a try. It worked great for us. It's like $40 and if it doesn't work you aren't out that much, but i'm pretty sure it will work. That was our workaround for this type of situation.
