    That does not sound right. They should be promoting you to enter the number on the device where you initiated the authentication, not on your phone; at least that is how it works for me when I connect my company laptop to VPN - I have to use MS Authenticator on my phone, which shows a number (protected by two biometrics), which I then have to enter on my laptop.

      No, OP is completely correct. It’s all down to how the company configures their MFA, but MS MFA will definitely show you a two-digit number on the system you initiated the auth on, and force you to type that on your Authenticator app.

      I work with a vendor that has this setup and do this every day when accessing their systems.

      Thankfully my own company doesn’t have the type a number stuff turned on.

        Yes you are right, that is how I have to do it - I got it the wrong way round in my previous post. I enter the numbers into the app on my phone.

      Yea thats a really bad implementation. We use 2FA at my work and its much less cumbersome than this.
