@lichendust For me the most frustrating was logging into Microsoft Authenticator on a new phone. With no access to the old one.
- You have 2FA configured.
- You must use 2FA to login.
- Cannot use 2FA - Use alternative method.
- To use alternative method, you must login first.
Back to the start
- You have 2FA configured.
- You must use 2FA to login.
- Cannot use 2FA - Use alternative method.
- To use alternative method, you must login first.
Resetting 2FA didn't break the loop. Instead, they still expected me to use Microsoft Authenticator to login to Microsoft Authenticator.
The only way out of this loop was to use Google Authenticator.

@TorvaFirmus @lichendust This demonstrates exactly why a phone is a Single Point of Failure. Why don't they teach them comp.risks at these schools?
