TranscriptA wafrn woot (post) by @tinker@infosec.exchange saying "Microsoft Authenticator needs me to validate with Authenticator in order to log in with Authenticator to use it to authenticate another app with Authenticator. Here is the app telling me to open itself to validate itself with itself. #infosec #iHateComputers" It has a screenshot showing the microsoft authenticator app.

I just switched to aegis when authy went to light mode. I like it.

One of the main feature of MS Authenticator is native integration with the MS authentication system. Aegis doesn't have such integration

That's kind of the point...

The less of their stuff I have in my life, the better.

funny to me when people are like "I need that integration to automatically approve all auth requests because typing that six digit number in is JUST TOO MUCH MAN!!!"

That sounds like a bug in waiting honestly. I don't trust Microsoft that much

Enteauth is also pretty good
