Microsoft Authenticator is about to wipe work accounts from jailbroken/rooted phones automatically 👏.

No IT config needed. 🔥

3-phase rollout starting Feb 2026:
⚠️ Warn → 🚫 Block → 🗑️ Wipe

Let your help desk and security teams know.

Wow. So a LOT of you folks are not happy.

The good news is your org can still allow you to use passkeys and other Authenticator apps.

@merill You just told a bunch of power users they either need to either relinquish control of their personal devices or start carrying a second device. Why did you think they'd be anything other than unhappy?
