Supposed I have a phone number with an area code specific to my hometown for my personal iphone. I live in the US and would like to live in another state that isn’t my home state. Would Azure MFA Authenticator app on my iphone leak my location from the new state? Per the wiki, it is not suggested that personal devices be on the same VPN network as the work laptop, so I’m thinking that the communication between the work laptop and the Authenticator app would leak location? What if I opt for SMS text verification codes instead, will that leak location?

    The authenticator app can ask for location directly via gps, but if your company doesn’t enforce that requirement, you can deny the app that permission.

    However if your org is using Azure AD or ADFS, your location will instead be inferred based on public IP and then challenged against conditional access policies.

    Outside of those two scenarios, you’re probably good.
