Perhaps I just did something stupid, but I just found Bing and anothernMS app in my Android phone’s app list… never explicitly installed those. I do have Authenticator, though (for work). Has MS stooped to piggybacking their crap from others silently now?
LineageOS? plus Magisk (yes I have rooted it, so perhaps that allowed an opening somwhere). I will have to watch to see if anything re-appears I suppose.
Uninstall authenticator and use an open source app. There’s nothing special about ms dfa tokens that require you to use it. I’m using andOTP for all my dfa tokens

Apps cannot install other apps without your permission.
You probably just have a shit phone with loads of shovelware on it.

Oh! Thank you, will look into that.
I learned this the hard way when my coworker was chastising me for having two phones – I kept an entire separate phone just for the MS DFA.
Since i installed outlook a “search with bing” option appeared in my long-press menu. So yes, it is possible.
