  Same here. I feel like having to enter it so many times isn’t just more annoying but also makes the users more susceptible to phishing attacks ad they’ll naturally pay less attention where they’re entering the 2FA code into when they do it so routinely.

    Yes totally.

    And why do I have to 2FA on my phone? It’s not 2F when it’s the same device.

  My biggest annoyance with that is that the prompt doesn’t tell you which application it’s asking for. Is it Outlook? Is it Teams? Is it OneDrive? Or something that shouldn’t be asking for 2fa?

  That’s not an MS thing, that’s the way your admins configured it. There are methods for doing system wide, once every X hours authentication, but chances are they don’t know that or went overkill with the settings to “be more secure”
