This is a problem and MS needs to figure it out. They do not need more billions than they already have. It is not only bad business but horrible policy that you would force the business community to cross pollinate personal and business. It's confusing and irresponsible (I really do hope Microsoft reads these).
Stop it. Stop forcing people to mix their business with personal. I should be able to utilize the account associated with my tenant to be able to backup the MS Authenticator App that I use FOR BUSINESS!!!!!
What I want to know is, when I've wasted my personal account backing up my business Authenticator what account do I use to backup my Authenticator I use for my PERSONAL use? Simply ridiculous and MS can fix it with the swing of probably 2 keystrokes.

Just tricking mom/pop users into $3.95/month of OneDrive storage and making them think the only way to run a computer is to have a Microsoft account. The rest is enterprise of 500 seats plus with E5 licenses, everyone else be damned.
