Au début tout va bien tout marche mais je ne sais pas pourquoi plus aucun code ne fonctionne après. il vaut mieux choisir l'a2f de google ou autre qui la ne bloqueront pas vos compte comme moi.

Add new feature, that we can approve authentication from browser itself. as of now, the 2 factor auth is going to my mobile where i need to enter 2 digit code on mobile authenticator app and approve to login to any microsoft applications. But in current version of this addon, it supports on generating a 6 digit code which is not used much in my organization
