I disabled t use Microsoft Authenticator, I use passkeys and aegis Authenticator.

You don't get away from it this way either.

Instead, it manifests as needing to reset your password every, single, time you log in. Because of "too many incorrect sign in attempts".

The bots can't do anything bc the account is passwordless. But it doesn't stop Microsoft's annoying "security" features.

So I constantly have to reset a password that is never even used.
