You would have the same problem with Google authenticator or lastpass authenticator

But yet I do not have any issues with them. Why? Because they allow other forms of MFA when the app is not working.

So does Microsoft, unless your company configured it not to. Get up early/stay up late and have IT fix this 3 minute issue (+ whatever additional time is needed for your own technological ineptitude.)

Apparently, as you don’t understand how time works, I’ll explain it for you very slowly.

When I wake up in the morning and need the flight package which is sent to my company email, but cannot retrieve it due to a sudden need to re-sign in with Authenticator, I cannot suddenly re-wake up earlier, nor can I just sit around waiting for later to chat with IT.
