Why would you use Microsoft Authenticator when there are hundreds of other apps that manage OTPs?

Because many admins are horrible and disable TOTP for "security".

My uni does it and I've had use the only alternative option, cell call, and rigged Tasker to automatically answered and play the needed tone so I don't need to carry it with me.

Good question. That was for my MS account/licenses and some Azure stuff. I use Google Authenticator for most things.

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look. I might just move it to a secondary device first.
