The new Outlook has been a shit show since day 1. When they first released it it couldn’t load PSTs, it couldn’t use COM add ins, it didn’t link correctly with Teams. You couldn’t correctly add shared calendars. The list just keeps on going, and all the things it fell short on was all stuff that business users heavily relied on.
Granted some of them need to go, but it’s like they didn’t even pay attention to what was used.
It’s been truly terrible. When i first tried it, you didn’t get a tooltip showing the actual URL of links before you click them, you know, the thing literally every mandatory phishing training I’ve had to do for the past 20 years.
What gets me still is our work using MS SSO for all our work credentials but it always tells me to “open outlook and select displayed numerical code” to sign in on my phone but never once has it actually worked even if I’m literally sitting at the desktop with Outlook open on the screen. I always have to select “more options” and have them text or email a verification code.
Sounds to me like your Authenticator app link was broken. Had that happen to me when I did an upgrade of my phone. The phone name stayed the same and the app was restored but the underlying link was broken. Had to completely remove it from the MS security portal and readd it.
