Can you claim that you don't have a smartphone? Then they'd either have to provide an alternative authentication method, or provide you with a phone.
I've been part of the Microsoft Bad crowd for well over 25 years now, but there are a few things that I will concede that MS has done well. Authenticator is one of them. I haven't looked much into the privacy aspect of it, though.
Strong disagree with Microsoft Authenticator being well done - anything that is needlessly incompatible with competitors is bullshit. Either make your authenticator use the standard or fuck off.
Push Authentication in the MS Authenticator is Microsoft's proprietary thing. And I think that's probably what we're talking about here.
There's half a dozen other apps that do similar stuff, PingID, SecurID etc.
