Can you use a third party MFA app for Apple's MFA?

Can you use a third party MFA app for Apple's MFA? I know that we can set up multiple phone numbers for MFA or use trusted devices but as an organization, we would prefer to use a third party app for each user.

Huge MFA security problem As of right now, every single device associated with my iCloud Account is listed as a "trusted device" and recieves a verification code any time I try to sign into iCloud. Meaning if I am sitting at my laptop trying to sign in and MFA sends a verification code, my laptop, my old phone, my new phone, my son's iPad, and old iPad all get the same code. Obviously, this kind of defeats the purpose of MFA... How do I set it so only one or two devices are "trusted" and receive verification codes? (as opposed to ALL of them) as is the case now?

No, you can't use a third-party authenticator.
