OK that's clever but you are still bypassing 2FA and I am baffled why would you want to do that -- just switch off 2FA if it's annoying? If your employer doesn't let you and you bypass like this (I presume you are entering your password on the laptop too) then you are begging to be fired.

Your phone has an app with your work email on it, and probably ones with internal chat and other things too. Your phone has no 2fa - anyone who knows your passcode/pattern (and you need one even if you use a fingerprint) has access to all your work stuff.

Clearly, being able to access company resources without having two devices isn't the problem that 2FA is being used to solve. I just want to have the same ease of access on my computer that I have on my phone.
