    My office building is a signal dead zone for some reason, and I have to walk all the way to the terrace just to get my 2FA push code.

      I used to work in a basement with that problem. I’d have to wave my phone in the stairwell for a SMS code.

      Happily, now IT uses the authentication app on my phone, which doesn’t need cell signal.

        I misspoke when I said “code”. I meant push notification that you just have to tap to confirm.

          You ever had the one where Outlook wants to do the push notification validation on the same device that authorizes such requests? It just interrupts the validation process and forces you to retry.

            Yeup. Especially annoying when you have to resolve it yourself instead of opening an IT ticket cause you can’t login to Slack, email, or the Ticketing Portal.

            I do love every morning having to login into Microsoft to login to my Password manager to login to Google to log into my product as well.
