[Eril-l] vendors requiring phone numbers for MFA

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Hi all -

Vendors and other sites required for technical services work are starting to require a cell phone number for multi-factor authentication via an authenticator app or sms.  E.g., to login to admin sites and get usage statistics.  We do NOT want staff using their personal cell phones for business purposes, for multiple reasons.  It's highly unlikely our institution will provide us with cell phones!

Anyone have any suggestions for how to deal with this issue?

Thanks and best, Theresa
