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

The only thing I ask for is VoLTE actually working.

I wish that there were better kernels around. A monopoly (Windows on a desktop, Linux on a phone - well, at least iOS still has BSD) is not a good thing on any platform.
