I'm pretty sure any other 2FA TOTP app can be used instead; you just have to enter the six-digit code.
Did this because my work laptop arrived before the phone.
Depends on the IT department. My previous place actually disabled 3rd party authenticators...I list half a day of work because I needed a domain admin to flush my Google authenticator so I can re-enroll with M$ Authenticator.
Fair. Just found out my PC has the "detect you reusing your login password on other sites" feature turned on... when I entered my old password into the change password box.
I just get the pop-up to enter the two digit code that is displayed on my computer.
You need to enroll a TOTP app as a 2FA method, then you should be able to select which you use.
Yup, never installed the MS crap and used Google authenticator before moving everything to Bitwarden authenticator when it was released
