I hit the "not me" button _once_ in the MS Authenticator app. Never touching that button again.

What happened was that I was immediately logged out from most systems and had to call IT to unlock my account. Apparently Outlook had initialised a login request after the 14 days validity of the previous authentication in the background with no indication on my screen that it had done so.

I’ve long been curious what happens, especially since it would be an easy mistake to make even if you didn’t intend to do so. Thanks for establishing that I never wish to experiment with it.
It’s very likely the case their employer had configured some kind of feature set and logic to respond to the denial. Out of the box, Microsoft Entra doesn’t do that kind of thing.
