One of the main feature of MS Authenticator is native integration with the MS authentication system. Aegis doesn't have such integration

That's kind of the point...

The less of their stuff I have in my life, the better.

funny to me when people are like "I need that integration to automatically approve all auth requests because typing that six digit number in is JUST TOO MUCH MAN!!!"
