My employer wants me to download an app to my phone as part of a 2 step authentication process for an app at work. They do not pay for my phone, it's strictly for personal use. Do I have to do this? I'm in the US.

Another week passes and I have to cover another person Me: Logs on, sees I’m not seeing this person’s assignments nor am I set to receive their calls. I had some questions on this. So I asked Me: Morning boss! Im not seeing this person’s…
