I’m non-techy. I work for a public school district and visit with kids in about a dozen schools. I like having my work email on my phone so teachers can get in touch if they need me. For years we’ve just used the outlook app with no real issues that I’ve noticed. We’re seeing more and more micromanagement and it sucks. We recently got notice that we have to install Cisco Duo on our phones if we want to have our email on it. Should i do that? Or just say no and be ok with being out of contact?
I wish work profiles were more separate. My company’s work profile ended up locking me out of my phone (including the personal profile) and forced me to wipe and start over with it. They disabled fingerprint unlock and required my unlock password to change monthly, and I got the periodic “you have to change your password NOW” notice while plugged into my car with Android Auto. I couldn’t enter a new password and the phone never unlocked again.
I know, probably a super rare set of circumstances, but I’m not going to allow my work to root my phone again. They can buy me a phone if they need so much control.
Periodically rotating passwords is against NIST policy. Ask IT why the insist on using it when everyone, even the government, says it’s insecure
