How to Share Two-factor Authentication to a Single Account With Multiple Users

✳️ Your team shares one account, but two-factor authentication keeps locking everyone out. There are real solutions to this problem, and they don't sacrifice security. I'll show you how to set up shared two-factor authentication so everyone can get in.

✳️ Our Little League organization uses an MS Outlook account for email. For years, two of us were able to share access to it, but it now requires a security number to be texted to my phone. And now, after doing that, it has forced me to install Microsoft Authenticator on my phone. Is all this added security really worth it, and is there any way around it? My colleague can no longer access the email unless I send him the code sent to my phone.
