Google Authenticator app & Office 365 MFA
Is it possible to use the Google Authenticator iOS app with Office 365 MFA instead of the Microsoft Authenticator app? I tried adding to Google Authenticator with both QR code and manually but go...
Google Authenticator app works with Office 365 MFA too.
It works like a charm! However, this option is rather discreet for normal users to detect, lol.
- My Experience where I worked they have conditional access enabled and it no longer allows the use of Google Authenticator it is MS Authenticator only no other options are presented that enable the use of Google Authenticator. To say the least I am disappointed.
I've just configured the login with GA following those easy steps (android):

- Just be aware that Admins of a tenancy can disable being able to do this, which is what happened in my case.
