"Workplace" accounts are completely separate, with the exception of an optional link to your personal account to make it easier to log in. To my knowledge, no other data is shared. Your employer owns the data, not Facebook.

Sorry you're being downvoted. This is useful information that allays some of my concerns. Thanks.

Maybe not now. But they have it. And correlating it would be trivial.

Will they support generic 2factor auth apps or will I have to use a separate Facebook workplace app to generate auth codes for logging in?

I'm already annoyed that I get my two factor codes from two different apps (one for Facebook, one for everything else), I'd be extra annoyed if it had to be three.

You can actually use any TOTP app with Facebook already, though the setting is very buried:

Holy shit! Thank you very much, I had no idea.
