MFA without a Cellphone (2024)

‎Mar 09 202112:51 PM

This is becoming a bigger issue more and more. We cannot, as a company, require our Employees to use a personal cellphone to get text codes or install work apps to authenticate our work accounts.

We supply these users with a Business Voice license so they can make business calls and accept business calls.

All of our employees have corporately paid laptops running Windows 10 and all have SharePoint, Email, OneDrive, Teams etc.

Microsoft does not offer the authenticator app on Windows 10 so we can't use that method.

So what do we do? Leave all these accounts vulnerable? I've read about using "landlines" for authentication then Microsoft says that's not secure but then provides no guidance on exactly how we're supposed to do this.

We cannot be expected to pay for a cellphone for all these users just to use one app. That's ridiculous.
