Tell me if I'm being unreasonable.
A number of my developers have asked to be assigned a company phone because we occasionally need to connect to customers' databases and need 2FA to do it.
"I don't have an authenticator app," one said.
"Install one," I said.
"I don't want to install anything on my personal phone."
WTF?!
I know I shouldn't ask anyone to use their personal property for work stuff, but how the hell can you work in tech and not have an authenticator app?!

@davidnjoku I also work in tech and don't have an authenticator app on my phone (I also use pass-otp on my Debian pc, where it's accessed only after 2fa-ing with my gpg card, so maybe it still qualifies as 2fa?)
but I agree that if work has requirements on things that need to be installed on devices, it should be either clearly stated before signing the contract, or it should provide said devices, no matter how common those things are.
