I’m also not a fan of MS spyware.
But in defence of the MS authenticator, the 2FA prompts it sends are very convenient, how they pop up and ask for the number displayed on screen, its definitely more secure than just the one time code.
Plus it also shows what phone the user is using when they install and configure the authenticator app, this is also very useful if you suddenly see the user accessing their mail or one drive from another mobile device.
I’m trying to learn rust and so far this has definitely made it so much more accessible.
Not to mention their super useful “rustlings” training which has these nice little challenges to get you used to language and syntax
