Everything about authentication and Microsoft is nightmare fuel. I am sure that noone over there has any idea what is going on, and that is the reason why every new thing from microsoft builds their own - soon to be legacy code anyway - authentication portal and ties it to the existing kowloon walled city of authentication with chewing gum and zip ties.

I recently had to install MS authenticator on my work phone, to do so I needed to use the code from MS authenticator. To bypass that I needed to log on to MS to change access option, which wanted the code from MS authenticator to log in.
