MODERATORS
I work for a municipal government where we all receive a phone stipend because of 2FA.
If we use our personal phones for city business, they become searchable in Open Records Requests.
Also, the Microsoft Intune app, which checks if your device is compliant, requires a high level permission which allows it to remote wipe your device. This is in case your device has sensitive data and gets stolen/falls into the wrong hands. This is a very risky direction where we are handing off admin access of our phone to our employers.
You don't need the Intune app to use the authenticator.
True, true. This is off-topic.
But I remember that for a certain scenario (I don't remember exactly), my work app requested me download Intune, without which the app refused to start/update.
