I support this so much, however due to work, I can not get away from Android/iOS. Many companies want you to install Microsoft Authenticator with this generally wanting to prompt you for MFA authorisation when accessing company resources. On top of this they often want you running Company Portal on your device too if you’re accessing resources such as emails or IM
I resisted carrying two phones for the longest time… up until recently I worked for places with relatively small IT departments and I trusted the people I worked with and worked for. Now I’m with a much larger company and I don’t even know all the people in IT, much less how they have their MDM system setup.
What I didn’t expect was how nice it feels to be able to put the phone down when I get home and then forget about it. Of course, anyone who may need to reach me in an emergency knows my personal number, but that’s only happened once in the past 2 years.
I’m actually losing money because I have two phones. (My company pays for a brand new phone and all the mobile data and calls) I could just switch to that phone for the low price of Microsoft intune. But I don’t want to stress if I download a sketchy app or something that my work phone would get infected. And the feeling when I get home and toss my work phone to my backpack and don’t have to worry about is worth the money I pay for my own phone.

Then they need to give you a work phone.
My personal phone is rooted. I couldn’t access anything work related (beyond authenticator) on it even if I wanted to.

I was forced into using Microsoft Authenticator as well, but you can extract the tokens it uses for TOTP code generation from its database lol.
