Pros / Cons
- I use MS Authenticator every day, multiple times, for multiple passwordless logins, and it’s almost so good I don’t notice that one used it.
- Microsoft Authenticator doesn't have the desktop app so everything has to be done through the mobile app, which can be inconvenient if you're working on a computer.

- We use SecureW2 for wireless and wired 802.1x authentication which greatly increased our network security posture and allowed us to eliminate corporate wireless passwords for all of our office locations.
- It delivers seamless Wi-Fi access to corporate devices with robust security, achieved through integration with other tools like Intune, Meraki, etc.
