How does Microsoft's implementation work?
Is it possible to log into windows without a Microsoft account using that method?
I don't know about windows specifically, but for outlook they're pushing their authenticator app (you can use any) and SMS or email one time links. I think it works really well, and almost all attempts to access my account have stopped tbh, they can't phish for my password if I don't have a password.
Yeah this is being standardized at the mobile hardware level now with

That reverse-code thing is super annoying. The next vector is through the shitty app itself.
