We had IT people in at our shop to migrate us over to 365. They wanted me to install Microsoft Authenticator on my personal phone, so I said no. They were able to bypass MFA to sign me up.

I asked them what would happen if someone didn't own a smartphone (crazy I know), they had no answer for me. They basically just looked at me like I asked them the square root of pi.

That's actually a problem where I work. There are people who carry a flip phone because they don't want a smart phone. IT gives them a hard token for 2FA.
