We use duo as 2fA for our Microsoft accounts at work. Every Thursday its log into teams on phone log into teams on desktop, log into outlook on phone, log into outlook on desktop. Why can't your apps cross authenticate on the same device? How does one drive manage to stay authenticated throughout the whole process?
Any actual work I need togets done is done on a 15 year old think pad running Debian. The beefy 12th gen i9 just whirrs its fan around and occasionally gets used for emails, team chats and logging up tickets.
There's actually a duo feature that does that.
Normally apps can't cross authenticate like that because they don't have the ability to talk to each other in a standard way that's also verifiable and secure. Teams could have a way to share your auth to something else, but it's much more difficult for it to know that the thing asking for access actually is something that's supposed to be able to do so.
OneDrive is built in to Windows, so it's able to use the authentication you use to log into the computer to talk to the Microsoft servers. (Essentially, there's like a million steps and layers of indirection).
