Duo vs Microsoft Authenticator (2023): In-depth comparison (www.techrepublic.com)

Duo uses push notifications, time-based, one-time passwords, physical tokens and biometrics to verify the identity of users at login. Similarly, Microsoft Authenticator uses push notifications, one-time passcodes, and biometrics for authentication and can integrate with Microsoft 365 and Azure Active Directory. While both 2FA options share some similarities, there are still key differences that can sway your decision to choose one over the other.

Just curious as to what everyone's using for MFA in their environments. Duo? Microsoft Authenticator? Okta? A jumble of different solutions depending on which system needed to be covered at the time and with no additional budget?

Micosoft Authenticator Configured so it reports application, shows a map with the location of the request origin, requires a two digit number to be typed.

Whole company is on an hybrid Azure AD so it's just the better choice in our situation because of that. We use Azure Apps to integrate it and Azure AD to manage permissions.

I use both. MS Auth for 365 and tons of web apps.

DUO for VPN, RDP, SSH, Cisco and other multi layer stuff that can use SSO.

Some things I use they are stacked and double MFA.

They use Okta where I'm at.

We are using Okta too, but I am not sure if I would recommend it at all.

It's not unusable but I am still not that happy with it.
