No solution. I tried a couple key solutions that didn't work and they are so small one was lost immediately and $50-$75 to replace. We've settled on using text on personal phones since it doesn't require an app to be installed and for some of our users that have a Teams Business Voice license, using their Teams number to authenticate. However, Teams may stop working if can't authenticate then the number stops working.
If there is no cell signal then they could authenticate with wifi but that would require them to install the app so that's fine for our Employees we supply a phone to.
Microsoft needs to start selling keys so we know they're legit and easy to use that we can purchase along with our licenses. They are way too complex and some aren't certified.

I saw this https://services.mnsu.edu/TDClient/30/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=114
and wonder how to configure on the admin side to get the option for Office phone. It seems to have the option to enter an extension which is what we would need. That would take care of the majority of our users. Looking through MS documentation, I don't see anything regarding this Office phone option.
