My company corporate card requires an app because it has an Authenticator to access the website. I tried the ole “but I only have a flip phone” and they said there was no other option. The bastards forced my hand.

[neuronflux]

So they issued you a company provided phone for this work specific functionality?

[caminante]

You haven't confirmed WHY they have a flip phone.

If you're using a flip phone in this day and age, then it's not about the money.

[scorpionfeet]

YES! Immense waste of money. But I’m one out of hundreds that avoided a corporate iPhone for years. I hate it.

[antiframe]

Why would the company only issue you a flip phone if the Authenticator the require doesn't run on it?

[integralid]

The company didn't issue any phone. They want GP to install authenticator on their private phone and GP tried to softly refuse by lying (I think) they only own a flip phone. It didn't work.

There are authenticator extensions for web browsers.

[scorpionfeet]

Unapproved by the company.

[graemep]

So its their device you are using? otherwise how to they know what authenticator you are using? Most use the same standard.

[scorpionfeet]

Bank has its own Authenticator app. That’s how.

[integralid]

Except Microsoft Authenticator. That's what my company uses and this is the only reason I ever use my work phone.

Depends on the technology used - not everything is TOTP.
