Workers increasingly forced to use personal phones for work MFA
Original: I don’t know when we crossed into this weird world of “you WILL use your personal mobile device to do MFA and we will NO
A cybersecurity worker is voicing frustration that many employers now require staff to install multi-factor authentication apps on their personal mobile phones without reimbursing the cost, with the complaint striking a chord among people in tech and security circles. The broader debate centres on whether companies should provide dedicated devices or compensate employees when personal hardware is effectively commandeered for workplace security.
Why now: Frustration over unpaid personal-device use for workplace security is a widely shared grievance among employees and IT professionals.
