I have already cracked down on MS Authenticator --- I wrote my own --- and it's not very difficult to do.

For basic 6-digit codes sure. But MS authenticator uses push notice based approvals for many corporate SSO accounts including mine.

You hardly ever have to use that system - despite the way they present it during enrollment (like zoom tries to get you to install their electron app every time you video conference).

"push notice based approvals"

My simple work aound --- put the code in the clipboard. Use Ctrl-V to paste.

My authenticator app can also be configured to automatically launch a sign-in page.
