It's not even an unusual condition. At Dropbox, starting some time in either 2018 or 2019 we had to install a remote administration app on our devices if we wanted to connect to corp vpn or to log into corporate google accounts. Mostly so that the device could be wiped if it was lost, IIRC.

- ethbro 7y agoYeah, that's pretty normal for campus network access. Otherwise it kind of defies the logic of having a corporate network in the first place. It's definitely a slippery slope though. "If we already have a privileged app running on people's devices... {insert management-centric ask}"
- ryanmercer 7y agoWhen I did some contract work for a big crypto exchange, they required you to provide them the ability to remote wipe any device you used, including your personal phone, for their systems. Since they required you to use Authy I just used an old phone with a throwaway gmail account to set Android up and the beat-to-hell Chromebook they provided that would not hold a charge for more than a few minutes.
