I'm getting a new top of the line Samsung cell phone. Not because I want one, but because the company I work for has started requiring the use of Microsoft Authenticator to access our cloud interfaces. This means that even though I have only a desktop computer that sits in our office and is connected to our network via an ethernet cable, I need a >$1000 cell phone to show I am "secure".

@lwriemen but why a "top of the line Samsung"? There are cheaper phones, there are even cheaper Samsung phones, that run MS authenticator.

@rogerparkinson The company had two options, top of the line Samsung or top of the line iPhone. I'm sure the normal consideration for a corporate phone is for a bigger number of uses.
