Anyone else hate Microsoft forcing you to use Authenticator rather than alternatives?

Just another way I'm forced to install Microsoft crap on my devices :/

It's been a long time since I set it up, but I have Microsoft accounts in my usual TOTP app (Aegis). Maybe I did it manually? But it's definitely possible.

Not if your organization disables alternative TOTP apps 😔.

Is it a default setting?
If no, our admin didnt enable it and I could do it.

I have 2FA through Authy on my Microsoft account.

You can work around it to use your own 2FA app.
Did it with my O365 account.
