So I need to run Microsoft Authenticator. Only thing is, I won’t use a phone and I have no Android phone anyways. I have a old Odroid C2. USB is broken, but Ethernet should still work for scrcpy.
Stock image is 6.0.1 Marshmellow. Authenticator wants GApps and Oreo. I wonder if it will run on Marshmellow through? Even if the device is “not certified by Google”. If not, I wonder if I can run a Virtual Machine or Container on the Odroid with Oreo, Pie, and beyond on the Odroid with Marshmellow?
If not. I wonder if a Banana Pi or Orange Pi with GloDroid can pull it off. While Glodroid has no GApps, I’m sure a VM can be used right? Maybe even a x86 Chromebook, but I think scrcpy is going to be a hard thing on x86 android. Probably should have a working VPU even if the performance only goes up to 720p.
And maybe those cheap Android TV boxes that may or may not have preinstalled Malware?
Why not just buy a really cheap smartphone and use it solely for that? You don’t need a cellular connection, just WiFi
Especially if you are contemplating buying hardware to do it
I already have a Odroid.
And idk if something else is Microsoft Authenticator capatible?
If the app requires Oreo and your device is marshmallow, its not going to work. I had a quick look and there is no Oreo ROM built for it, so you can’t load it on there. The ROM needs to be compatible so you can’t load a VM or flash it
You can boot into linux with the C2, but the authenticator app is android/IOS only
What did you need the authenticator for? If the service is using the open authenticator token protocol, it doesn’t *have* to be Microsoft authenticator. It could be use an app that works on Windows or Chromebook (such as google authenticator)
And idk if something else is Microsoft Authenticator capatible?
The easiest and least painful way is to just buy a cheap low end smartphone and use it for this purpose, rather than try to hack something together. You don’t need a phone/data plan or anything, just wifi
