> Many people are not capable of setting up authenticator apps, not everyone is a "techy" and not everyone is smart.

That might be true but on the other hand most companies using Teams etc. will be introducing 2FA with the MS Authenticator App. Techie or not, you need to install an app and scan a QR code.




Once again, not every person using the internet is working for a company.

If you don't know anyone that will just laugh at you when you tell them "it's super easy, you just need to install an app and scan a QR code", then you're living inside a bubble. Every year at my mums birthday party her friends already queue up in front of me, so I can install some apps for them.


Are they too stupid (I don't mean that in a condescending way) or just too lazy? I know several elder people (75 to 85 years old) that have no problem installing apps on iPhones. On the other hand I know others that "play dumb" but I think it's mostly an issue of fear.
