I can’t use my 2FA codes on devices that aren’t connected to my Apple ID, my work devices use Apple Business Manager apple IDs. I have a PC I use for Sony Vegas, etc.

you can still view the generated codes in the settings app on your devices that are signed into your personal apple ids. not super convenient but possible.

I know that I can, it’s just worth it to me to maintain a separate MFA app. (In my case DUO because my work requires it for PC logins anyways)

I’m on all the betas so I can’t be sure if it’s available to everyone but apple’s keychain gives you the option of using Authy or google chrome 2FA codes so, at least on Mac, your codes will auto-populate
