    Last week I went to Italy to program a robot cell... All went very well and the job was finished as expected, but... My office 365 2 factor authentication decided to stop working, that left me without Outlook and Teams in my PC. Arrived home and tried to get in touch with Microsoft through chat, they recommended me to change my admin password, which i did (Curiously I could not log in, but change the password, go figure). Then Office apps stopped working in my phone too. Yesterday (Monday) I called them, explained them the situation, and they promised they would call me. They did it only to tell me that they could not solve it as I was the sole administrator. But that someone would call me soon. Today (Tuesday) I called them again, same history, same answers... still no call. So: - 1 week without mail or Teams access. - 2 days calling them. - No answer. Curiously my personal account works flawlessly. It seems that if you travel your office 365 gets disconnected as a safety measure to avoid being hacked!

      Google is just about as good. When my primary laptop auto logs in to gmail from a new IP address, I get an email TO THAT DEVICE telling me a strange device has just logged in to my account. :doh:

        yes, but at least you can keep working... Now I am completely disconnected from my customers, and of course, I keep paying for that service. :mad:

              They have settings for that type of stuff so it may be that you enabled it without knowing it or maybe it's on by default. Security is a pain.

                Maybe, sure it is on by default then, but 2 complete days without news from them? WOW!

                  I'm *still* avoiding 2FA everywhere I can, no matter how hard "they" try to convince me. I'd rather live with the perceived increased risk than getting erroneously locked out due to some policies dreamt up by some overzealous admin who never fully thought through all scenarios.
