No true, you are not forced to install MS Authenticator, You can without problem use Google Authenticator, but you need to display the "Secret" key:

Works perfect. Saved me from one more app installation.
Thanks.

Glad I saw this thread. Man, they really make it difficult. "Set up app without notifications" (whatever that means) instead of "Use another app besides Microsoft Authenticator"
Grrr.....
