I really liked my windows phone a lot. Honestly a lot more than my current iPhone 6. But I need to use second factor apps to log into my company's vpn, and those apps aren't on winphones.
- WorldMaker 10y agoIf it supports the OATH/IETF RFC standards (and almost all two factor systems do/should), the Authenticator app that comes preinstalled with Windows phone supports it right out of the box. (Your company's VPN administrator just may not realize that.) The interesting irony recently is that my own company just sent an email encouraging our VPN users to download the (very same) Microsoft Authenticator on iOS and Android as it is now the most reliable cross-platform 2FA app.
- city41 10y agoI don't think it does (although I'm not 100% certain). We use Duo Mobile[0], which pushes a challenge to the phone, then I have to acknowledge it. It's not the standard "enter the 6 digit code" that Google Mail and most 2 factor systems make use of.

- WorldMaker 10y agoYeah, I'm not sure if Duo "Push" is standards-based. A quick trip to their website did show that they have an app for Windows 8+: https://guide.duo.com/windows-phone https://guide.duo.com/windows-phone
- city41 10y agoDamn, there's a Windows Phone 7 version too: https://guide.duo.com/windows7-phone https://guide.duo.com/windows7-phone -- I swear there wasn't when I was making this transition. Huh, that's a little frustrating. Oh well.
