That's the solution I picked at work. Refused to install that Microsoft software on my personal phone, but instead provided a phone number.
If you have a VoIP provider you could even try to the VoIP number for MFA instead of providing your real mobile number.
If IT make a comment about you not having the app, ask if they intend to provide a company device for that.

I had to install MS Authenticator to get into my account, then I added a phone number. I then deleted Authenticator from my phone and from my 2FA settings.
Same problem here, my company requires 2FA for remote network access. MS Authenticator requires Google Services on Android which I don't have - so no home office for me I guess.
If you don't care about the money you get paid every fortnight then go ahead. Nobody cares! For employers , you are just a number and for you ,employer is the means to get paid.
If you don't need the money then fuck it.
we have o365 and while i do have the authenticator, you should also be able to add a phone number or email address for text/email codes instead of the authenticator (i know my coworker doesn't have the authenticator but gets codes to her sms)
You might be able to 2FA via text or phone call. That's what I do. It's bad enough I have to BYOD for a laptop. I don't want MS BS on my personal phone as well
