We have an account set up where multiple people log in using the same credentials (username/password). The account will now be subject Multi Factor Authentication. Is there a way that this account can be loaded on the authenticator app on multiple devices? Allowing different people to authenticate when they log into the account

    This is NOT recommended.

    Howeever it is possible if the users scan the same QR code.

    When prompted with a QR code, scan it using the Microsoft Authenticator app on one device and before completing the setup, save the QR code image and scan with other auth
