this morning I got informed that my employer will ramp down one-time- password OTP via SMS. We should use "microsoft authenticator" only.
So, can someone point me to a Linux (open source) alternative, which can
do the job as a two-factor one-time-password app?

I have no experience with it. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/download-and-install-the-microsoft-authenticator-app-351498fc-850a-45da-b7b6-27e523b8702a
indicates it uses the time-based one-time password (TOTP) standard.
After a search on description in rpmdrake (click on the magnifying glass, select
description, then do the search) for TOTP, it looks like oath-toolkit may do the
job but I have no idea how to use it.

On May 30, gmail will require the 2 factor auth. Any chance you could
get a packager/dev to get a fetchmail 7 that can use the auth2 package.

I don't know if it will help with the OP's problem, but FWIW Thunderbird
is supposed to be able to use Oauth2 authentication with gmail.
https://www.supertechcrew.com/thunderbird-oauth2-gmail/
I haven't tried to convert from the old way yet (I really should get on that), so I can't say for sure that the above information is correct specifically for gmail. But, I had to do the same thing with my yahoo
account a year(?) ago, and it works just fine with that.

I have several email accounts and it was nice to have cron jobs using fetchmail to pop up an xnessage indicating I have mail to read here on my system rather than having manually use the browser/thunderbird to check for mail.
I too was having to use thunderbird to read yahoo mail.
Currently using claws-email where possible.
Going to be a bit upset if it is going to fail on all my gmail accounts.
Noticed the above link had indicated there were auth patches for fetchmail
so I would assume it would be a easy test to verify still worked with the patch installed.

I've asked for it. https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30146
Hopefully the fetchmail packager will choose to take it on.
Thank you. I tried to log in to add me to notifications and
I am unable to login. I can not find any way to request a reset.
Any suggestions?

I just logged out/in with no problems. A password reset request can be done at
https://identity.mageia.org/forgot_password

It would be nice if they had a reset password link on the login page.
I would have create a bug request but I am sooo lucky.
Did the password change 3 times and none are working. :(
id/pw pasted in by mouse so not a typing problem.

I can't do mine myself as I have some svn and git privileges, which means i need
to get a sysadmin to do it for me. It's been a long time since I was able to test
it.
IIRC, it takes a few minutes after resetting the password on identity.mageia.org
before bugzilla's password db gets synced with the ldap server.
I think most of the services that use the password use ldap, but bugilla has it's
own db that has to be synced. Try resetting the password again, but wait 10 minutes
or so after reseting it before trying it on bugzilla.

oathtool indeed does the job, though it was not possible to authenticate
as "microsoft authenticator". This always went wrong.
But, there is a second option for Outlook Web and Teams, "use different authenticator", which seems to be a more generic solution, and this
method works together with oathtool.

Mind sharing what you have configured to get it working? Be sure to
munge any personal info.
