The terrible practice is using Slack for anything important.

Edit: practically, the line is getting more and more blurry. I have to install (multiple, ugh) MFA apps on my phone in order to authenticate to various work services. I've always been a strict work/personal separation devotee, but short of buying and carrying a separate phone, it's difficult.

MFA apps are only work thing on my personal phone. Nothing else work related lives there...

This might actually be even more secure way as on my work laptop there is no personal things. Very rarely I might pay for a train ticket, but that is it.

So MFA is separate from accounts and passwords. Meaning both would need to be compromised at same time...

Just set up another user on your phone and switch to that for work stuff. I have a whole seperate user area with work stuff installed, emails, teams etc. It's good as it means I can access work stuff when I need to but there's no risk of me getting notifications or seeing work stuff outside of work hours unless I specifically switch into the account.

This is how I do it and it works. It's a royal pain in the ass to switch profile all the time since our VPN has an aggressive idle timeout that boots you off. But... It's very nice to have that clean separation.
