As an alternative to the Microsoft authenticator app, iOS 15 and later have integrated support for two-factor TOTP, as well:

• https://www.macworld.com/article/626700/verification-codes-apple-passwords.html
• Automatically fill in one-time verification codes on iPhone - Apple Support (the UI here shifted in iOS 18)

That will require you to transfer from the Microsoft authenticator to the built-in Apple authenticator, though. Once you transfer, you can sync your TOTP using iCloud Keychain.

An iPhone 8 is limited to iOS 16, and issues and limits arising from that will only increase, particularly as soon as that iPhone model becomes unable to run one of the three most recent iOS versions.

That would be a lot of words for “pay cut”.

Your options are not good.

Ask your work IT what the cheapest available TOTP phone is, or the cheapest compatible hardware token, and request they provide that.

Or off-load the iPhone 8 of its contents, update it to iOS 16, and continue to subsidize your employer.

I cant use that cause my work is requiring me to use MICROSOFT:(

That would make this a work problem, and work then provides you with the necessary hardware. Contact IT.
